WAVE, a web accessibility evaluation tool suite, helps content creators make their websites usable for people with disabilities. WAVE detects many accessibility and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guideline) errors, while also aiding human evaluation. It prioritizes impactful issues for end-users, assists human evaluation, and educates on web accessibility.
Browser Extensions for Website Accessibility Scanning
The online WAVE tool allows accessibility checks by entering a webpage URL. For testing password-protected, local, or dynamic pages, WAVE offers Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser extensions, enabling direct in-browser accessibility testing.
WAVE API and Testing Engine for Deeper Website Scans
For large-scale accessibility data collection, the WAVE subscription API and Stand-alone WAVE API and Testing Engine provide robust solutions. The stand-alone API and Testing Engine integrate into existing infrastructure, facilitating accessibility testing of intranet, private, and secure webpages, including integration with continuous integration processes. This makes WAVE a powerful Website Scan Tool for developers.
Accessibility Impact (AIM) Report
The Accessibility IMpact (AIM) assessment report delivers comprehensive WAVE test data, an AIM score reflecting end-user impact compared to general webpages (determined by human testers), and expert manual test results. This provides in-depth understanding of your website’s accessibility for users with disabilities.
