README
The axe family of tools help you check for digital accessibility. They are built on the open-source axe-core accessibility engine for automated Web UI testing. To make it easy to get started, it is available as:
- Free browser extensions
- Open-source CLI
- APIs for JavaScript, Java, and Ruby
Free browser extensions
Perform interactive testing extensions to the Developer tools built into the browser:
CLI
Use the command line interface to easily add accessibility checks into your build/integration scripts.
- Install the npm package and begin to use it immediately
- Or, clone the GitHub repo and modify it to your heart's content :-)
APIs
All built on the foundation of axe-core, these APIs make integration with your testing framework easier:
- axe-puppeteer chainable API, automatically tests every frame, for Puppeteer tests
- axe-webdriverjs the same for Selenium WebDriverJS
- axe-selenium-java for our Java friends
- axe-matchers for our friends using Cucumber or RSpec
- react-axe for testing your React apps
