Common ARIA Patterns
| Pattern | Key ARIA | Keyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Modal dialog | role="dialog", aria-modal="true", aria-labelledby | Esc closes, Tab trapped inside, focus returns on close |
| Tabs | role="tablist/tab/tabpanel", aria-selected, aria-controls | Arrow keys switch tabs, Tab enters panel |
| Accordion | , aria-controls | Enter/Space toggles, all keyboard reachable |
| Menu | role="menu/menuitem", aria-haspopup | Arrow keys navigate, Esc closes, Enter selects |
| Combobox/autocomplete | role="combobox", aria-expanded, aria-activedescendant | Arrow keys navigate list, Enter selects, Esc closes |
| Alert/toast | role="alert" or aria-live="assertive" | Auto-announced, dismissible |
| Progress | role="progressbar", aria-valuenow/min/max | Announced on change |
| Toggle button | aria-pressed="true/false" | Space/Enter toggles |
| Tooltip | role="tooltip", aria-describedby | Appears on focus+hover, Esc dismisses |
ARIA Rules of Engagement
1. First rule of ARIA: Don't use ARIA if native HTML works β >
2. Second rule: Don't change native semantics β Don't
3. Third rule: All interactive ARIA controls must be keyboard accessible
4. Fourth rule: Don't use role="presentation" or aria-hidden="true" on focusable elements
5. Fifth rule: All interactive elements must have an accessible nameAccessible Name Priority (browser resolution order)
1. aria-labelledby (references another element's text)
2. aria-label (string label)
3. association (for form controls)
4. Contents (button text, link text)
5. title attribute (last resort β avoid)
6. placeholder (NOT a label β supplementary only)
Phase 4: Testing Methodology
4-Layer Testing Pyramid
#### Layer 1: Automated Scanning (catches ~30% of issues)
Run on EVERY build/PR:
Tools (all free):
axe-core β industry standard, lowest false positives
# In Playwright/Cypress
npm install @axe-core/playwright # or @axe-core/cypress
# In CI
npm install @axe-core/cli
axe https://your-site.com --tags wcag2a,wcag2aa
Lighthouse β Chrome DevTools β Lighthouse β Accessibility
WAVE β wave.webaim.org (visual overlay)
Pa11y β CLI scanner for CI pipelines
pa11y https://your-site.com --standard WCAG2AA
CI pipeline integration:
# GitHub Actions example
a11y-test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm ci && npm run build
- run: npx pa11y-ci --config .pa11yci.json
- run: npx playwright test --grep @a11y
#### Layer 2: Keyboard Testing (catches navigation issues)
Test EVERY page/feature manually:
1. Tab test: Tab through entire page β can you reach everything? Is order logical?
2. Focus visibility test: Is the focus indicator always visible and clear?
3. Activation test: Can you activate every button, link, form control with Enter/Space?
4. Trap test: Can you always Tab or Esc out of components (modals, menus)?
5. Skip link test: Does "Skip to main content" work?
Keyboard testing checklist per page:
keyboard_test:
page: ""
date: ""
tester: ""
results:
all_interactive_reachable: true/false
logical_tab_order: true/false
focus_always_visible: true/false
no_keyboard_traps: true/false
skip_link_works: true/false
custom_components_keyboard_operable: true/false
issues: []
#### Layer 3: Screen Reader Testing (catches semantic issues)
Test key flows with at least ONE screen reader:
| Screen Reader | OS | Browser | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA | Windows | Firefox/Chrome | Free |
| VoiceOver | macOS/iOS | Safari | Built-in |
| JAWS | Windows | Chrome/Edge | $$$ |
| TalkBack | Android | Chrome | Built-in |
Essential screen reader checks:
1. Page structure announced (headings, landmarks, lists)
2. Images described (or correctly hidden if decorative)
3. Forms: labels read, errors announced, required fields indicated
4. Dynamic content announced (alerts, loading states, live regions)
5. Custom components: role, name, state all announced
Quick VoiceOver test (macOS):
Cmd+F5 to toggle
VO+Right arrow to navigate
VO+U for rotor (headings, links, landmarks)
Tab for interactive elements only #### Layer 4: Manual Expert Review (catches context & usability issues)
Quarterly or before major releases:
Content readability and plain language
Cognitive load assessment
Error recovery paths
Motion/animation sensitivity
Touch target sizing (mobile)
Color independence verification Testing Priority Matrix
| Page/Feature | Auto | Keyboard | Screen Reader | Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage | Every build | Monthly | Quarterly | Annually |
| Login/Signup | Every build | Monthly | Quarterly | Annually |
| Checkout/Payment | Every build | Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly |
| Search | Every build | Monthly | Quarterly | Annually |
| Forms (all) | Every build | Monthly | Monthly | Quarterly |
| New features | Before ship | Before ship | Before ship | Major only |
Phase 5: Common Fix Patterns
Fix 1: Missing alt text

Fix 2: Color-only indicators
β οΈ Please enter a valid email address
Fix 3: Custom button
Submit
Submit
Fix 4: Form labels
Fix 5: Focus management (SPA route changes)
// After client-side navigation:
// 1. Update document.title
document.title = ${newPageName} | Site Name;// 2. Move focus to main content or h1
const main = document.querySelector('main h1') || document.querySelector('main');
main.setAttribute('tabindex', '-1');
main.focus();
// 3. Announce to screen readers
const announcer = document.getElementById('route-announcer');
announcer.textContent = Navigated to ${newPageName};
//
Fix 6: Modal focus trap
function trapFocus(modal) {
const focusable = modal.querySelectorAll(
'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
);
const first = focusable[0];
const last = focusable[focusable.length - 1]; modal.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
if (e.key === 'Escape') { closeModal(); return; }
if (e.key !== 'Tab') return;
if (e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === first) {
e.preventDefault(); last.focus();
} else if (!e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === last) {
e.preventDefault(); first.focus();
}
});
first.focus(); // Move focus into modal on open
}
// On close: return focus to the trigger element
Fix 7: Live region for dynamic content
CSS: Visually Hidden (screen reader only)
.sr-only {
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
padding: 0;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
white-space: nowrap;
border-width: 0;
}
Phase 6: Design System Accessibility Standards
Color Contrast Requirements
Tools for checking:
Colour Contrast Analyser (desktop app)
WebAIM Contrast Checker (webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker)
Stark (Figma plugin) Minimum ratios:
| Element | WCAG AA | WCAG AAA |
|---|---|---|
| Normal text (<18pt) | 4.5:1 | 7:1 |
| Large text (β₯18pt or β₯14pt bold) | 3:1 | 4.5:1 |
| UI components & graphics | 3:1 | β |
| Focus indicator | 3:1 | β |
| Disabled elements | Exempt | β |
Touch Target Sizing
| Standard | Minimum Size | Spacing |
|---|---|---|
| WCAG 2.5.8 (AAA) | 44Γ44 CSS px | β |
| WCAG 2.5.5 (AA) | 24Γ24 CSS px | 24px from other targets |
| Apple HIG | 44Γ44 pt | β |
| Material Design | 48Γ48 dp | 8dp spacing |
| Recommendation | 44Γ44 px minimum | 8px spacing |
Typography Accessibility
Base font size: 16px minimum (body text)
Line height: 1.5Γ minimum for body text
Line length: 50-75 characters (measure)
Paragraph spacing: 1.5Γ font size minimum
Font choice: sans-serif for UI, high x-height, clear letterforms
Never: All caps for long text, justified alignment, font size < 12px Animation & Motion
/* Respect user preference */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
*, *::before, *::after {
animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
scroll-behavior: auto !important;
}
}
All animations: provide pause/stop control
No content conveyed only through animation
Parallax scrolling: provide alternative or respect prefers-reduced-motion
Auto-playing video: never. User-initiated only. Dark Mode Accessibility
Re-check ALL contrast ratios in dark mode (common failure point)
Don't just invert β pure white (#fff) on dark backgrounds causes halation
Use off-white (#e0e0e0 to #f0f0f0) on dark backgrounds
Colored text: re-verify contrast on dark backgrounds
Images: consider transparent PNGs on dark backgrounds
Phase 7: Component Accessibility Specifications
For each common component, specify the complete accessible behavior:
Button
semantics: "
Form Field
required:
- "Visible
Data Table
required:
- ", , , "
- " describing the table"
- "Complex tables: headers= attribute on "
keyboard:
- "Sortable: button in , aria-sort='ascending/descending/none'"
- "Pagination: standard button/link navigation"
responsive:
- "Small screens: horizontal scroll with sticky first column, or card layout"
- "Never hide columns without providing access to that data"
avoid:
- "Layout tables (use CSS grid/flex)"
- "Nested tables"
Navigation
required:
- "
