Read the full announcement and sign up for the Early Access Program → www.chromatic.com/blog/sneak-p... Accessibility Regression Testing is in active development now.
You’ll get realtime reporting with impact analysis. Chromatic continuously tracks accessibility issues across components. A birds-eye view helps you identify areas that'll have the greatest impact. As your team resolves issues, you can track progress toward WCAG compliance.
Chromatic also makes it easy to drill down and debug these violations: 🔍 Problematic DOM nodes are highlighted in snapshot ⚙️ Launch the published Storybook to debug with browser devtools 🔗 Share links to specific violations with your team for faster collaboration
Regression detection is the secret sauce here. Instead of drowning in violation reports, Chromatic sets baselines and flags only the changes in each PR. This separates pre-existing issues from new ones, ensuring teams never backslide as the app evolves.
Traditional accessibility testing tools navigate page-by-page and run scans to compile a report. You have to sort through thousands of noisy violations to figure out which component caused the violation. Component-first testing makes it easier to identify the root cause.
