Lighthouse
Automated auditing, performance metrics, & best practices for the web
Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool that analyzes and audits web apps and web pages in order to improve their quality. Lighthouse collects modern performance metrics and insights on developer best practices; auditing for performance, accessibility, SEO and more. After auditing it produces a report either in JSON or HTML. Included in the report is a reference doc that explains the importance of the audit and how to fix the problem areas, which you can use to improve the web app or web page. Lighthouse can be integrated directly into the Chrome DevTools with its own panel. To run it, you would simply have to select the Lighthouse panel and click on "Generate report". It can also be run from the command line, or as a Node module. -

Spearmint
An inclusive, accessibility-first GUI
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. -

tota11y
An accessibility (a11y) visualization toolkit
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. -
