[georgewrmarshall]

Description

Implement accessibility testing in the MetaMask design system to ensure all components meet accessibility standards. This will involve integrating the a11y Storybook plugin for React UI and researching alternatives for accessibility testing in React Native components.

Technical Details

• Integrate the a11y Storybook plugin into the Storybook setup for React UI components to catch accessibility issues during development.
• Explore and evaluate suitable accessibility testing tools or plugins for React Native components.
• Ensure accessibility checks are part of the CI pipeline for automated testing.
• Provide documentation and guidelines for using accessibility tools in component development.

Acceptance Criteria

• a11y Storybook plugin should be successfully integrated and configured for React components in Storybook.
• React Native alternatives for accessibility testing should be researched and a decision made on the most appropriate solution

References

• a11y Storybook Plugin
• Research React Native accessibility testing alternatives (e.g., React Native Accessibility API or other plugins).
