Automated accessibility testing
summary
Automated audit library axe-core and its devtools axe Chrome extension inject into pages and iframes, run in any browser (including shadow DOM and cross-domain iframes), and integrate into unit, Selenium and Puppeteer pipelines; v3.0 gets ~50% speedup and the project reports it finds about 50% of issues automatically while aiming for zero false positives. Experimental rules live in axe coconut and a follow-up "project walnut" surfaces manual checks to push coverage beyond what automation can detect.
