From my point of view this makes it less accurate. You add the tests into the build or deploy process, not into the JavaScript or Framework. This gives the false impression that you have to ship more code to production to test for accessibility. I feel very strongly that we should underline that testing during deployment is a thing, as that is where most of automated non-accessibility testing happens. Not mentioning it means that watchers might get the impression that they have to have separate testing workflows for accessibility, leading to not adopting accessibility testing in a systematic way in the first place.
