Microsoft Edge Testing with aXe

readme.md

Steps to set up automated accessibility testing with Microsoft Edge

All of these steps should be completed on a Windows machine or VM. Just so you don't get confused and I don't have to keep typing Windows!

• Download the MicrosoftEdgeDriver.msi version that most closely matches your build and put it somewhere on your PATH
• Download and run MicrosoftEdgeDriver.exe, note the server and path running.
• Install test dependencies with npm install.
• Update server/path in test file to tell Webdriver where to look.
• Run tests with npm test
