• We use design principles and coding standards informed by accessibility concerns as documented in User Interface Design Principles & Accessibility. 
• We run automated accessibility scanning tools (Axe by Deque) across the user interface in our end-to-end tests (run via Cypress). These automated tests run for every GitHub pull request submitted to our user interface codebase.
• We ask institutions who use DSpace to share any of their own accessibility testing results with DSpace developers. Accessibility issues discovered are turned into bug tickets for developers to address in upcoming DSpace releases.
  • If your institution has accessibility testing results to share, please contact Tim Donohue or anyone on our DSpace Steering Group.
• In 2021, we conducted an accessibility audit of the DSpace application with Deque to get specific feedback on our accessibility conformance. Their feedback has guided our design and coding standards mentioned above.
