The human-powered tests are supported by assistance from the tools, which makes these tests easier, faster, and more reliable. This enables the developer to find and fix any issues detected through automated checks before proceeding to the remaining tests, which require human judgement. The automated checks in Accessibility Insights can identify common accessibility issues in seconds. Find and fix common accessibility issues in under five minutes Microsoft has contributed our Windows rules engine to the axe accessibility project, helping the axe engine cover all major platforms. We’re happy to announce that Deque Systems is one of the first contributors, providing GitHub issue filing for Accessibility Insights for Web, and color contrast detection heuristics for Accessibility Insights for Windows. That’s why we’re releasing Accessibility Insights to the open source and accessibility communities – it’s all of ours now, and together we’ll continue to make it a better tool and build a more accessible future. We are driven by the promise of more accessible products for more people. It’s a piece of a much larger inclusion effort – one that involves inclusive hiring, Trusted Tester – all the tools in the toolbox! Why open source? Our aim with Accessibility Insights is not to reinvent the wheel, but to modernize existing technology and optimize it for use in developer workflows. That’s why we created Accessibility Insights, a first step in developing tools that help developers address accessibility issues early in the design process. We’re on a journey to design, build, and launch more accessible products to foster inclusion. Built on Deque’s open source axe technology, Accessibility Insights can run as standalone tools, or you can integrate the rules engine into your build process.
Today we’re announcing the open sourcing of Accessibility Insights for Windows and Accessibility Insights for Web, a set of two free tools to help developers easily find and fix common accessibility issues early in the dev cycle.
