Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) is a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release on an ongoing basis. In accessibility practice, CI/CD pipelines can incorporate automated accessibility testing tools (such as Axe) so that accessibility checks run automatically with every code change, catching issues early in development rather than relying on post-hoc audits. This shift-left approach makes accessibility a routine part of the development workflow, reducing the cost of fixes and promoting shared responsibility among developers.
