👀 Reminder: our webinar’s tomorrow

A11y testing isn’t either/or.
Automated checks catch the obvious. Manual testing catches the weird stuff.

Used together = fewer bugs in prod.

Join us + Homer Gaines, CPACC to break down a workflow that scales.

automated vs manual a11y testing webinar

Automated a11y tests = fast + scalable.
Manual a11y testing = real-world coverage.

Used together? You catch more bugs before they ship.

Join us + accessibility expert Homer Gaines to build a workflow that works.

Accessibility Testing & Dashboard are live Introducing our component-driven approach to accessibility

Getting started is easy:

✅ Works with existing Storybook setup
✅ Included with all Chromatic plans
✅ Enable from project settings

Accessibility dashboard showing a chart of violations over time and breakdown of violations per component.

The dashboard gives you a component-level overview of accessibility issues across your entire project.

📈 Visualize trends over time and measure progress
🔍 Find components that need the most attention
📋 Prioritize fixes by impact

Smart regression checks in CI

Easily distinguish between pre-existing accessibility debt and new issues introduced by your PR.

So you can ship fast without accidentally adding new accessibility issues.

Offending nodes are highlighted in red within the snapshot

Traditional tools create redundant errors because they run page-level tests, and components are reused across your app.

You waste time tracing each error back to its source.

Chromatic uses your existing stories to run tests, making it easier to spot and fix issues.

🚀 Chromatic's Accessibility Testing & Dashboard are now live!

Powered by Storybook & axe, we're making accessibility compliance seamless across your entire dev lifecycle—without slowing you down.

🚀 Accessibility Testing drops next week in Chromatic.

Join us for a live demo + AMA:
See how to catch issues in Storybook, prevent regressions in CI, and track fixes over time—without slowing down your team.
