Configuring Axe Accessibility Tests

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Shows how to configure axe-core across browser, Node and CLI integrations and the VS Code ax-linter, with concrete APIs and files: passing options to axe.run, using the builder chainable methods in Playwright/Puppeteer/CLI, and editing ax-linter.yaml. Gives exact knobs — runOnly by rule or tag, rules to enable/disable, resultTypes and iframe control — and concrete counts: about 91 rules in axe-core versus ~33 in the linter so users know what's actually runnable.
