Hi Marc

It's possible to perform this kind of testing by defining steps with a web driver like selenium and inserting JavaScript assertions into the pages on visit. For Rails apps there's capybara-accessible https://github.com/Casecommons/capybara-accessible.

The WAVE API appears to be a great tool for evaluating static pages, and we are seriously considering it, but I'm also interested in inquiring about other tools in the community that might provide more capabilities for evaluating dynamic pages, for example, recording user input in forms and repeating transactional page flows that could be incorporated into an automated enterprise build process. Any recommendations?
