Abra SDK
With the Abra SDK you can add accessibility checks to your existing tests. Run accessibility tests locally, or from your CI/CD. The results are shown in your IDE and in the Abra Dashboard.
How does it work?
After installing the Abra SDK, you can easily add automated accessibility checks to your test cases. With our SDK, you can catch accessibility issues before they reach your users. Our SDK is compatible with Espresso/UiAutomator on Android and XCUITest on iOS.
Tests can be executed on a device or simulator, either in the cloud or locally. Detected accessibility issues can be evaluated locally or sent to the Abra Dashboard. Solutions for each issue are provided in the Abra Documentation which is again connected to Abra Academy.
What can it test?
The Abra SDK uses the full power of the Abra Test Engine. It can find accessibility issues such as:
Focusable element name present (Android + iOS)
Focusable element role present (Android + iOS)
Focusable element state present (Android + iOS)
Focusable element value present (Android + iOS)
Target size (minimum) (Android + iOS)
Target size (enhanced) (Android + iOS)
Content can be viewed in portrait orientation (Android + iOS)
Content can be viewed in landscape orientation (Android + iOS)
Additionally, 7 Apple rules and 14 Google rules have been integrated.
