Add accessibility checks to your Playwright end-to-end tests

Join us in today's video as we dive into the world of web accessibility testing with "axe-core". "axe-core" is used in Google Chrome's lighthouse and is quickly integrated in your Playwright end-to-end tests. We'll integrate "axe-core/playwright", detect accessibility issues, attach these to test reports and even integrate accessibility checks in Checkly's synthetic monitoring thanks to a new beta runtime.
