About Continuum for C#

Access Continuum for C# (xUnit/Selenium) allows developers who are familiar with xUnit and Selenium to easily embed automated accessibility testing for their applications written in C#, and address accessibility concerns during the development process.

Selenium is a browser automation tool. It automates web application for testing purpose and is one of the most popular automated testing tools. xUnit is a unit testing tool for the .NET software framework. 

Continuum for C# (xUnit/Selenium) includes:

  • Access Engine, specifically the automatic tests included with the Level Access accessibility testing engine
  • A sample project that allows users to understand how to integrate accessibility testing into their current automated testing process
  • A custom library with useful keywords, defined in “LevelAccess.Continuum.dll”. This file also loads the Continuum C# SDK.

Prerequisites

  • .NET Core 3.1+ (multi-platform) or .NET Framework 4.8 (Windows-only); compatible with .NET Standard 2.0
  • Selenium WebDriver (nuget OpenQA.Selenium)
