Desired functionality.

Accessibility testing

Is it possible to include tools like axe or pa11y
for accessibility testing into the CLI?

[filipesilva]

Is there anything that stops you from adding them to a project right now? We try not to add extra tooling dependencies if possible, but if there's something that breaks usage of those tools maybe we can fix it.

[sfabriece]

No there is nothing stopping me from adding it currently. I just think that accessibility testing should be taken seriously and having it baked in into the CLI would reduce the friction to getting started, but I also understand that it might not be a priority at the moment.

[filipesilva]

Maybe we could add something as a flag e.g ng e2e --accessibility.

I agree with @sfabriece , this is also something I would like to see as well.

@filipesilva that would be definitely welcome. Not to mix issues but maybe adding something like Lighthouse that supports customization would be useful as well. Then accessibility would be added as part of it. Just a thought, but not sure if the added functionality is needed.
