    key: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY || '<lambdatest_access_key>',

    capabilities: [{

            platform: 'Windows 10',
            version: 'latest',
            accessibility: true, // Enable accessibility testing
            accessibilityOptions: {
                wcagVersion: 'wcag21a', // WCAG version (wcag20, wcag21a, wcag21aa, wcag22aa)
                bestPractice: false,
                needsReview: true
