Development

This repository uses pnpm as its package manager. The version you install locally does not need to match the one in packageManager — pnpm reads that field and switches itself.

Fetch dependencies and link packages together:

pnpm install

Run the linter:

pnpm run lint

Run the code formatter:

pnpm run fmt

Please refer to respective README for installation, usage, and configuration notes.

Philosophy

We believe that automated testing has an important role to play in achieving digital equality and that in order to do that, it must achieve mainstream adoption by professional web developers. That means that the tests must inspire trust, must be fast, must work everywhere and must be available everywhere.

Manifesto

1. Automated accessibility testing rules must have a zero false positive rate
2. Automated accessibility testing rules must be lightweight and fast
3. Automated accessibility testing rules must work in all modern browsers
4. Automated accessibility testing rules must, themselves, be tested automatically
