Add accessibility testing to JupyterHub testing tools #1540

Add accessibility testing to JupyterHub testing tools

The importance of building a product with accessibility in mind from the design/development phase cannot be overemphasized. There’s this option and then there is the option of building a product, deploying it and then looking for means to make it accessible.

The former saves time and resources that is why I am proposing this solution.

Current behavior

Currently, no accessibility testing tool exists in JupyterHub's testing tools that can be used during the development phase. Accessibility testing tools are being used in the browser to improve how accessible the deployed site is.

Proposed solution

By using Selenium tool/library, accessibility testing tools like axe is integrated into the development testing so developers will be able take note if guidelines for accessibility aren’t being followed and make corrections before the product gets deployed.

Selenium is an open source automation testing tool with support for a couple of scripting languages like Python and JavaScript, etc. One can choose a script depending on the application to be tested. Selenium Python bindings provide a convenient API to access Selenium WebDrivers like Firefox, Ie, Chrome,etc.

Alternative options

I am currently researching on alternative approaches and implementing this solution so I would love to have this issue assigned to me please. Thank you

Who would use this feature?

Implementing this feature will help developers and product owners(companies) save time and resources respectively.
