Automate running ANDI on multiple pages #145

Closed kamal2222ahmed closed 2 years ago

kamal2222ahmed commented 2 years ago

Make ANDI available as an Automated tool, where we can specify parameters like:

  1. Pages
  2. Base Page ( starting page ) and a number representing depth to crawl
  3. Filter domains ( This will give us the ability to filter external domains )
  4. Specify A, AA, or Both
  5. Map WCAG 2. x Rules to the scan result
  6. Specify remedial measures, as listed on the W3C site
  7. Ability to run from the command line, so it can become part of the SDLC pipeline
  8. Perhaps integrate with tools like Cypress so it can leverage functionality from other tools

That sounds good, but maybe we should start with asking for making it easier for the people at the Accessible Solutions Branch at SSA to notice new issues and respond to them.

Also, I have added lists to each page of my fork of ANDI (The lists are not just on links/buttons and structures pages), if that is an update that interests you as well.

it would be nice if they did. the lack of response on this github tells me how much they care about accessibility

Sorry for the delay in response. We care very much about people with disabilities and are major advocates of accessibility.

Regarding converting ANDI to an automated tool, these are great ideas, and would certainly be useful. ANDI is a tool to be used for manual inspection, and that will not change. There are many other tools that can be used to perform automated scanning and that handle these parameter ideas.
