The IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker is a set of automated test tools that check web code for accessibility issues.
It's an open-source freely available set of tools for web developers and accessibility auditors. It utilizes a set of rules and the accessibility-checker-engine, which detects accessibility issues on web pages and web applications. The accessibility-checker-extension integrates into the browser development tools (DevTools), providing an integrated checking experience, a keyboard checker mode visualization, and helps users quickly identify the source of accessibility issues and try fixes.
The Checker does not collect or send your web data to any servers:
- all your web data is kept local
- the rules and engine are downloaded and run locally
- no data is being used, sold, or transferred to 3rd parties
The Checker is available as a DevTools extension and NPM package from the following stores:
- Intro video - An introduction to the browser web developer tools extension and how to install it
