Automated testing with aXe -- A11ycasts #15

aXe on GitHub: goo.gl/0FDyHW
Manually reviewing a site for accessibility issues can be a time consuming process. Automated tools help streamline the work and make it easier to catch subtle mistakes. Today on A11ycasts we'll show one of those tools, a library called aXe, and how you can use it as a drop in script, a Selenium runner, or from your command line.

your work is awesome

[@sudheendrasubramanya2556]

Hay Rob. Thanks for making these videos. Most of the webpages we work with needs credentials to login to it. How can we do it with axe-selenium combo?

How can I get Element source and location in results while performing automated execution?

[@xircle]

The aXe Chrome extension is my go-to choice for automated testing. I used WAVE once and it had way too many false positives and was very noisy visually.

[@doreenfarfan4593]

For the axe-cli, is there a way to only output violations? and is there a way to have the results outputted nicely into a file rather than in the command line output?

[@thejaredwilcurt]

Damn, I just released Koa11y a few days ago, it's built on top of Pa11y. Now I'm thinking it may make more sense to add in aXe support. Maybe a future version.

Do you know how to install this with java ? Instead of js..

[@ashishgujar6540]

Does it also output keyboard accessibility issues?

[@armatearjun]

Anything like this for Android and IOS?

Hi Rob, I installed Axe as Chrome-Extensions, but it looks like axe is no longer free to use. Is that right?
