IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker contains tools to automate accessibility checking from a browser or in a continuous development/build environment
This Git repository hosts tools and supporting components of the IBM Equal Access Toolkit. The Toolkit provides the tools and guidance to create experiences that are delightful for people of all abilities. The guidance is organized by phase, such as Plan, Design, Develop, and Verify, and explains how to integrate these automated testing tools into the Verify phase. The Toolkit is a major part of the accessibility information and applications at ibm.com/able.
This README covers topics for users who want to find and install the deployed tools as well as topics for developers who want to better understand the various components and build the tools themselves.
The wiki contains overview information, links to videos, and other resources. See the Release Notes for the latest deployed changes in the tools, rules, and components.
The tools have been deployed to the browser and NPM stores so they can be easily downloaded and installed.
The browser extensions provide an integrated checking experience and visualizations to help users quickly identify the source of accessibility issues and try fixes:
