Jetpack Compose version: 1.8.0-alpha08

Jetpack Compose component(s) used: ui-test

Just looking at the API, I would enable a11y checks as follows:

    composeTestRule.enableAccessibilityChecks()
    composeTestRule.accessibilityValidator = AccessibilityValidator()

However this is not how the API was designed to be used because enableAccessibilityChecks creates a new AccessibilityValidator

ui-test-android-1.8.0-alpha08.../androidMain/androidx/compose/ui/test/ComposeUiTest.android.kt

        @RequiresApi(34)
        override fun enableAccessibilityChecks() {
            accessibilityValidator = AccessibilityValidator().setRunChecksFromRootView(true)
        }

Actually, this code:

        composeTestRule.accessibilityValidator = AccessibilityValidator().apply {
          // config
        }

        composeTestRule.enableAccessibilityChecks()

would not work as expected either, as the validator would be replaced when the checks are enabled.

The correct snippet would be

composeTestRule.enableAccessibilityChecks()
composeTestRule.accessibilityValidator!!.apply { ... }

We can definitely document this well, but I'd like to discuss if the API should be improved.

For example enableAccessibilityChecks() -> enableAccessibilityChecks(accessibilityValidator: AccessibilityValidator = accessibilityValidator())

and make the setter for accessibilityValidator private.
