The challenge

A page can look correct at one width while controls clip or content overflows at another. Developers need evidence that identifies the element involved and makes the issue reproducible.

Novasoft’s contribution

Novasoft built a JavaScript command-line tool around Playwright and axe-core. It checks supplied URLs at multiple widths and colour schemes, collecting selectors, dimensions, screenshots and accessibility findings into local HTML and JSON reports.

What this makes possible

Layout Proof makes checking a site across screen sizes quick and repeatable, with reports kept on your own machine.

Current release

Version 0.1.0 supports Chromium and is distributed through GitHub. It checks the initial rendered state of supplied URLs; it does not crawl a site or exercise login and interaction flows. Automated findings support manual review and do not establish accessibility compliance.

CAPABILITY IN PRACTICE

What the work included

01

Responsive checks

Find page overflow, elements outside the viewport, clipped controls and small interaction targets.

02

Evidence for fixes

Connect findings to selectors, dimensions and screenshots in a shareable local report.

03

Development workflow

Use a command-line interface or JavaScript API, with configurable thresholds and exit codes for automation.
