Assemble a comprehensive toolkit for automated accessibility testing in Angular applications using tools and libraries that have already been widely adopted and supported by the Angular community. Configure your workspace with Angular ESLint's accessibility rules to get feedback directly in the template code and fix issues early in development. Write unit tests with Angular Testing Library that interact with applications the same way a user would, including users of assistive devices. Verify the accessibility of fully running applications in Cypress end-to-end tests that use cypress-axe to run an extensive series of automated tests with the underlying axe-core accessibility testing engine. Automate checks at each stage of development and release by incorporating these tools into your development process and continuous integration pipeline to ensure your Angular applications are more accessible to all users.
