Open Source Linux Accessibility Tools

Easily create, save, and run tests intuitively using Spearmint. Access your app's file directory and codebase while providing a fully functional in-app terminal and browser. When you're ready to continue developing your application, your Jest test files will be in your app's __tests__ folder. Writing tests is like eating your veggies: it's something everyone knows that they should do, but not everyone does. Spearmint provides a simple way to write tests that gives you confidence your application will work in the way your users interact with it. Spearmint provides a user-friendly GUI for developers to easily generate tests with a few clicks of a button. It dynamically converts user inputs into executable test code through react-testing-library, jest, supertest, puppeteer, vue-test-utils, solid-testing-library, and axe-core. Spearmint isn't just for React. Write tests for your Redux actions, async functions, reducers, or middleware.

Axe is an accessibility testing engine for websites and other HTML-based user interfaces. It's fast, secure, lightweight, and was built to seamlessly integrate with any existing test environment so you can automate accessibility testing alongside your regular functional testing. Axe-core has different types of rules, for WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 on level A and AA, as well as a number of best practices that help you identify common accessibility practices like ensuring every page has an h1 heading, and to help you avoid "gotchas" in ARIA like where an ARIA attribute you used will get ignored. With axe-core, you can find on average 57% of WCAG issues automatically. Additionally, axe-core will return elements as "incomplete" where axe-core could not be certain, and manual review is needed.

tota11y helps visualize how your site performs with assistive technologies. The process of testing for accessibility (a11y) is often tedious and confusing. In many cases, developers must have some prior accessibility knowledge in order to make sense of the results. Instead, tota11y aims to reduce this barrier of entry by helping visualize accessibility violations (and successes), while educating on best practices. tota11y is a single JavaScript file that inserts a small button in the bottom corner of your document. The toolbar consists of several plugins that each provide their own functionality. Many of these plugins "annotate" elements on the page. Sometimes to show their existence, other times to point out when something's wrong. tota11y makes it easy to spot some of the most common accessibility violations made by page authors today.
