Fair.

I removed that part of the comment

As an American living in Sydney, and working for an agency, I feel like accessibility is behind the US. This set of tools should help, but also the use of Lighthouse by QA teams is key.

With Lighthouse, any score below 90 on any metric means our work fails QA —- it’s in our contracts to exceed 90. As a result, our clients rave about how easy it was to pass accessibility and security audits. Only secret is Lighthouse, and other automated checks, as part of the build process.

The agency I work for is doing pretty extensive work to support JAWS 2018/2019, and NVDA. The problem we have is that a fix for a specific issue in JAWS may break NVDA (or cause double reads).

Making everything work nicely in our Single Page Apps is a nightmare.

If you try and make it work after the fact, yes. Nightmare.

If you know it's a target when you are in architecture, much easier to design it in a way that will pass the tests.

Not saying that it's always perfect, but generally speaking having tests is better than not. Just key to have the tests early and often, so you can fix issues before they get baked in throughout a complex system.
