Automating Accessibility: Tying A11Y to Your Build Pipeline

Date & Time

Description

Intuit’s SaaS offerings have migrated entirely to the cloud and have migrated to a continuous improvement/continuous deployment (CI/CD) model. In support of this, we have incorporated our security controls into our build pipeline, ensuring that all code released is checked against our corporate standards. The results of these checks are then recorded in our Automated Compliance Platform where we can report on them as needed. This project merged accessibility scanning metrics into our security dashboards for better visibility and remediation. We’ll take you through our journey on how we used existing processes to get better visibility and attention to this work, while making it easier for Product Development teams to onboard to our scanners. We’ll talk you through the generation of our business case, executive endorsement, and how the technical solution was implemented in our build pipeline by providing paved roads for onboarding, shipping data to our data lake, and eventually pulling the data into our Automated Compliance Platform (ACP) for reporting. The final result is an end to end example of how we ultimately automated ticketing for compliance issues, and merged our accessibility reporting with our security compliance dashboards for improved resolution.
