/** * Accessibility scan — NFR6 (WCAG 2.1 AA via axe-core). * * Walks every meaningful page in the school_admin / teacher / student * portals, runs the axe-core accessibility engine against the rendered * DOM, and asserts that there are no violations of "critical" or "serious" * severity against the WCAG 2.1 AA tag set. * * Lower-severity issues ("moderate", "minor") are collected and * logged but do not fail the test — those go in a follow-up sweep * so we can ship the critical fixes first. * * Per-portal-role scans are added as the page inventory grows. * * NFR6 follow-up (2026-07-29): the student dashboard at * `/dashboard/student` has a dedicated test block below that asserts * (a) no critical/serious axe violations, (b) the expected semantic * landmarks and heading hierarchy, (c) keyboard focus order. */ import { test, expect, Page } from '@playwright/test'; import AxeBuilder from '@axe-core/playwright'; import { loginAs, isRoleAvailable } from './helpers/auth'; const BASE = 'http://localhost:3000'; // Each entry: { path, label }.
