Upgrade to axe DevTools Pro to do so much more: ★ Intelligent Guided Testing™ (IGT) Perform more advanced testing without having to become an accessibility expert. Using a simple question and answer format, IGT leverages machine learning to help you quickly find and fix issues that are not detectable by automated testing alone. Adding IGT can get you 8o% coverage or more—while you code. ★ Component-level testing Make your testing more agile by focusing only on the specific parts of a page relevant to your immediate work. Reduce patching and retesting by finding accessibility bugs that could break existing use cases. ★ Export, Save and Share Collaborate across your dev team! With one click, create a customized URL with all issue description information to share with colleagues or your issue tracking software of choice. Save the rest of your team time and effort and help them build inclusive experiences. ★ What’s left to test? After you’ve finished automated and Intelligent Guided Tests, now you can generate and share a “Remaining Testing” report, listing what’s left for manual testers. Accessibility experts can pick up exactly where you left off to catch the remaining complex issues.

Thanks. Could you please confirm if this is latest version of Axe ? I believe this covers up to WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues.
Harris SchneidermanDeveloperFeb 14, 2024
Yes, the extension currently supports the latest version of axe which covers WCAG 2.1 AA standard issues! Let us know if you have any more questions by reaching out to helpdesk@deque.com Happy accessibility testing!

Hello, I have to say this is a very useful tool. It quickly runs in the browser, scan my pages and triggers very helpful results about the issues found it and point the exactly parts of my code with the issue. Is there any plan to update soon the webtool to covers WCAG 2.2 AAA?
Harris SchneidermanDeveloperFeb 14, 2024
Thank you for the feedback! I'm happy to hear that the axe DevTools Extension helps you find accessibility issues in your code. On our roadmap is a feature to allow all logged in users (free or paid) to update their Accessibility Testing Standard settings to "WCAG 2.2 AAA". Right now this feature is only available to "Pro" (paid) users, however we acknowledge that this was a mistake and want to open it up so all users can access this standard. I expect the feature to be released within the next couple of months.

Doesn't work if you are not pay lol
Harris SchneidermanDeveloperJan 31, 2024
Bishal, without paying you have access to run unlimited scans on as many pages as you'd like. For each scan, a detailed report with the results is available containing useful information about each issue including source code, selector, remediation info along with a link to an information page about the given rule. We of course offer additional features for paid ("Pro") users as accessibility testing software solutions often do. It is inaccurate to state that the extension "doesn't work" if you do not pay.
