Level CI by Level Access

Level CI is a developer-first accessibility automation tool built by Level Access to bring accessibility testing directly into your existing development workflow. Whether you’re running E2E tests locally, pushing commits to a feature branch, or merging pull requests, Level CI makes sure accessibility is continuously validated—without slowing you down.

Engineered for developers, QA engineers, and UX-minded teams, Level CI automates the detection of accessibility issues early in the software development lifecycle. It integrates tightly with the tools you already use, helping teams ship accessible, compliant, and inclusive digital experiences—by default.

How It Works

Level CI runs accessibility checks automatically within:

E2E Testing Suites – Works with Cypress, Playwright, and Selenium to inject accessibility checks alongside your functional tests.
CI/CD Pipelines – Integrates into pipelines via GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, and Azure DevOps, enabling accessibility gates on every commit or PR.
Pull Requests – Comments inline with accessibility violations introduced in the diff, keeping your main branch clean and compliant.

Key Features

Pull Request Analysis

Level CI scans your PRs and flags accessibility violations directly in the code review interface—helping your team prevent regressions before they merge.

Automated Issue Detection

Automatically identifies common accessibility issues:

Missing or incorrect alt text
Improper ARIA roles
Keyboard trap issues
Low contrast text
And many more based on WCAG, Section 508, and ADA

Developer-Centric Reporting

Each issue comes with:

Exact DOM location
Violated rule with WCAG reference
Why it matters
Remediation guidance with example code

Accessibility Quality Gates

Set policies like “block merge if critical issues exist” or “warn only for minor violations.” Make accessibility part of your build criteria, not an afterthought.

Customizable Scoping

Run full-page scans, component-level tests, or focus on critical user flows. Easily exclude low-priority areas to reduce noise and keep scans fast.

Collaboration-Friendly Workflows

Level CI integrates with your issue tracking and version control systems. Assign and track remediation tasks with minimal friction across teams.

Built for Your Workflow

Role	Benefit
Developers	Get fast, contextual feedback directly in PRs or test runs.
QA Engineers	Automate accessibility checks alongside functional tests.
Designers/UX	Validate that accessible design standards are enforced.
Team Leads	Enforce compliance without adding manual overhead.

Why Level CI?

Traditional accessibility testing is slow, siloed, or dependent on manual audits. Level CI flips that script by:

Integrating directly into your CI/CD and test tooling
Catching issues during development, not post-release
Providing clear, actionable feedback tailored for engineers
Helping teams shift accessibility left, where it’s faster and cheaper to fix
