axe DevTools - Web Accessibility Testing

Just hope it can support WCAG 2.2 sooner! Very handy tool to use.

Great extensions, help us identify and fix accessibility issues

must be broke or something it doesn't do anything

Victoria, could you explain in a little more detail what you were trying to do? Once you open up developer tools and click "axe DevTools", you should be able to click "Full Page Scan" to perform an accessibility scan on any page of your choosing. Was this not working for you?

Great extension! But Enabling this breaks the openapi preview mode, throwing the error "Please indicate a valid Swagger or OpenAPI version field". Disabling the extension makes it work. I love this extension but 1 star just to get the attention as this makes it cumbersome to look with the api contracts written in openapi. I'll surely update the review once it's fixed.

UPDATE: We have looked into this issue but were unable to reproduce it. We tested the axe DevTools Extension on an example swagger page without any issues. Could you provide us with a bit more detail about what you mean by "preview mode" and ideally give us an example where we can reproduce the issue? We are committed to fixing this for you but need a bit more info. Feel free to send info to helpdesk@deque.com if that is easier. Thank you in advance!

Great Tool . Need clarification whether is it able to identify colour contrast issues and did we have screen reader in this tool?

Harris SchneidermanDeveloperMay 28, 2024

Yes, the axe DevTools Extension can identify color contrast issues. It does not have a built-in screen reader - it is advised to test your web page with a screen reader after performing automated testing (and, for pro users, Intelligent Guided Testing).

This is a wonderful free disability compliance check on your web page. Thank you!

This ha been an excellent feature. Please confirm if the extension to cover WCAG 2.2 has been made open to all?

Harris SchneidermanDeveloperApr 29, 2024

Glad to hear it has been excellent! We have some upcoming work planned for the very near future that will open up WCAG 2.2 to all! Currently, it is available to all users who start a trial or upgrade to "Pro".

Thanks. Could you please confirm if this is latest version of Axe ? I believe this covers up to WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues.

Harris SchneidermanDeveloperFeb 14, 2024

Yes, the extension currently supports the latest version of axe which covers WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues! Let us know if you have any more questions by reaching out to helpdesk@deque.com Happy accessibility testing!

Hello, I have to say this is a very useful tool. It quickly runs in the browser, scan my pages and triggers very helpful results about the issues found it and point the exactly parts of my code with the issue. Is there any plan to update soon the webtool to covers WCAG 2.2 AAA?

Harris SchneidermanDeveloperFeb 14, 2024

Thank you for the feedback! I'm happy to hear that the axe DevTools Extension helps you find accessibility issues in your code. On our roadmap is a feature to allow all logged in users (free or paid) to update their Accessibility Testing Standard settings to "WCAG 2.2 AAA". Right now this feature is only available to "Pro" (paid) users, however we acknowledge that this was a mistake and want to open it up so all users can access this standard. I expect the feature to be released within the next couple of months.

Doesn't work if you are not pay lol

Harris SchneidermanDeveloperJan 31, 2024

Bishal, without paying you have access to run unlimited scans on as many pages as you'd like. For each scan, a detailed report with the results is available containing useful information about each issue including source code, selector, remediation info along with a link to an information page about the given rule. We of course offer additional features for paid ("Pro") users as accessibility testing software solutions often do. It is inaccurate to state that the extension "doesn't work" if you do not pay.
