Performing accessibility testing

We can perform basic accessibility checks by using tools such as Google's Accessibility Developer Tools (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/accessibility-developer-tools). We can inject the Google Accessibility testing library in a web page and perform the Accessibility Audit. This can be done automatically every time afterNavigatTo() is called. In the following code example, we will inject the axe_testing.js file provided by the Google Accessibility Developer Tools and perform the audit, which will print a report on the console:

public class IAmTheEventListener2 extends AbstractWebDriverEventListener {

    @Override
    public void beforeNavigateTo(String url, WebDriver driver) {
        System.out.println("Before Navigate To "+ url);
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeNavigateBack(WebDriver driver) {
        System.out.println("Before Navigate Back. Right now I'm at "
                + driver.getCurrentUrl());
    }

    @Override
 public void afterNavigateTo(String to, WebDriver driver) {
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor jsExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
 URL url = new URL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoogleChrome/" +
                    "accessibility-developer-tools/stable/dist/js/axs_testing.js");
 String script = IOUtils.toString(url.openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
 jsExecutor.executeScript(script);
 String report = (String) jsExecutor.executeScript("var results = axs.Audit.run();" +
                    "return axs.Audit.createReport(results);");
 System.out.println("### Accessibility Report for " +  driver.getTitle() + "####");
 System.out.println(report);
 System.out.println("### END ####");

 } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
 }
    }
}

The report is printed in the console, as shown here:
