+Attention should be paid to improve and maintain accessibility, abbreviated as "a11y".
 
-## Clickable elements that have a symbol or icon and no visible text
 
-If the symbol or icon is clear enough for sighted users, for instance a big "X" to close a dialog, it will still need a text for screen reader users.
+## Tests
 
-You can achieve a 'hidden' label by setting the property "aria-label" on the element.
-If available, use the translation machinery available to make the label appear in the correct language.
+We use [`cypress-axe`](https://github.com/component-driven/cypress-axe) for automated testing of accessibility in Volto via Cypress.
 
-Example:
+Place accessibility test files in the subfolder in the Volto package.
+For example, `packages/volto/cypress/tests/core/blocks/blocks-a11y.js`.
+
+Name accessibility tests `[THING] tested for a11y axe violations`
