a11y¶

The A11y Machine is an automated accessibility testing tool which crawls and tests pages of a web application to produce detailed reports.

It validates pages against the following specifications/laws:

W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, including A, AA and AAA levels (understanding levels of conformance)
U.S. Section 508 legislation
W3C HTML5 Recommendation

Deprecated

This library is no longer maintained because the A11y Machine is no longer maintained. Consider using webhint instead.
