Agent Skills: QE Visual Accessibility

QE Visual Accessibility

Purpose

Guide the use of v3's visual and accessibility testing capabilities including screenshot comparison, responsive design validation, and WCAG 2.2 compliance verification.

Activation

• When testing visual appearance
• When validating responsive design
• When checking accessibility compliance
• When detecting visual regressions
• When testing cross-browser rendering

Quick Start

# Visual regression test
aqe visual test --baseline production --current staging

# Responsive design test
aqe visual responsive --url https://example.com --viewports all

# Accessibility audit
aqe a11y audit --url https://example.com --standard wcag22-aa

# Cross-browser test
aqe visual cross-browser --url https://example.com --browsers chrome,firefox,safari

Agent Workflow

// Visual regression testing
Task("Run visual regression", `
  Compare staging against production:
  - Capture screenshots of key pages
  - Detect pixel differences
  - Flag significant visual changes
  - Generate visual diff report
`, "qe-visual-tester")

// Accessibility audit
Task("Audit accessibility", `
  Run WCAG 2.2 AA compliance audit:
  - Check color contrast ratios
  - Verify keyboard navigation
  - Test screen reader compatibility
  - Validate ARIA labels
  Generate compliance report with fix suggestions.
`, "qe-accessibility-agent")

Visual Testing Operations

1. Visual Regression

await visualTester.compareScreenshots({
  baseline: {
    source: 'production',
    pages: ['/', '/login', '/dashboard', '/settings']
  },
  current: {
    source: 'staging',
    pages: ['/', '/login', '/dashboard', '/settings']
  },
  comparison: {
    threshold: 0.1,  // 0.1% pixel difference
    antialiasing: true,
    ignoreRegions: ['#dynamic-content', '.timestamp']
  }
});

2. Responsive Testing

await responsiveTester.test({
  url: 'https://example.com',
  viewports: [
    { name: 'mobile', width: 375, height: 667 },
    { name: 'tablet', width: 768, height: 1024 },
    { name: 'desktop', width: 1920, height: 1080 }
  ],
  checks: {
    layoutShift: true,
    contentOverflow: true,
    touchTargets: true,
    fontScaling: true
  }
});

3. Accessibility Audit

await accessibilityAgent.audit({
  url: 'https://example.com',
  standard: 'WCAG22-AA',
  checks: {
    perceivable: {
      colorContrast: true,
      textAlternatives: true,
      captions: true
    },
    operable: {
      keyboardAccessible: true,
      noTimingIssues: true,
      navigable: true
    },
    understandable: {
      readable: true,
      predictable: true,
      inputAssistance: true
    },
    robust: {
      compatible: true,
      parseErrors: true
    }
  }
});

4. Cross-Browser Testing

await visualTester.crossBrowser({
  url: 'https://example.com',
  browsers: ['chrome', 'firefox', 'safari', 'edge'],
  versions: 'latest-2',
  comparisons: {
    betweenBrowsers: true,
    betweenVersions: true,
    againstBaseline: true
  }
});

WCAG 2.2 Checklist

| Level | Criteria | Auto-Testable | |-------|----------|---------------| | A | Non-text Content | ✅ | | A | Info and Relationships | Partial | | A | Color Contrast (4.5:1) | ✅ | | A | Keyboard Accessible | ✅ | | A | Focus Visible | ✅ | | AA | Reflow | ✅ | | AA | Text Spacing | ✅ | | AAA | Enhanced Contrast (7:1) | ✅ |
