Much of the accessibility audit is manual but there are a number of automated tools we use during the assessment. For design accessibility we use a colour contrast analyser. Throughout development and updates we use a tool in the background that scans to assess code validation. In addition to Google’s Lighthouse web.dev tool we use:
- AccessiBe for reporting: https://accessibe.com/
- Colour contrast parameters: https://color.a11y.com/?wc3
- Automated html scanning: https://github.com/Muhnad/a11y-checker
