[Athen] WCAG 2.1 automated accessibility checker tool

[George Kerscher]

The free tool AXE from Deque is very good. DAISY has integrated it as a part
of the free open source Accessibility Checker for EPUB. They continue to
maintain and update the tool. They also participate in the W3C and WAI
standards process, which I think is a big bonus.

We use SortSite. The info states that it runs 312 tests covering WCAG2.1 A,
AA & AAA guidelines however I haven't done a deep dive into what those tests
are. It's more affordable compared to some of the others but is more
technical and less user friendly for the non-techy (like me!) so mainly I
rely on my web developer to translate the info it returns.
 
Best,

Subject: [Athen] WCAG 2.1 automated accessibility checker tool
 
Hello,
 
My institution is looking for an automated accessibility checker tool that
checks for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. The tool we currently use tests very few
of the newer 2.1 criteria and we're wanting to get a better handle on the
accessibility of our websites on mobile devices. Does anyone have a tool
that the recommend for 2.1 testing?
 
Thanks,
Kasey
