Frequently asked questions
Who is Axe Auditor for?
Axe Auditor is designed for accessibility practitioners of all experience levels working at agencies, companies, and consulting firms. Testers with little prior expertise can learn as they go, while experts can focus on more complex issues, oversee organizational testing, and deliver clear reports to leadership.
How do automated and manual testing go together?
Automated and manual digital accessibility testing can be used together to test quickly, accurately, and comprehensively. Automated testing is an excellent approach for rapidly identifying a high volume of accessibility issues (up to 80% with Deque tools such as Axe DevTools for Web and the Axe DevTools browser extension). You can then complement this process with manual testing, using a tool like Axe Auditor to find and fix issues that are more complex or that might require more expertise to address.
Can I test native mobile applications with Axe Auditor?
Yes, you can test native mobile applications with Axe Auditor, as well as HTML pages, desktop applications, Microsoft documents, and PDFs.
How do you conduct manual accessibility tests?
Manual testing means going through your site or application like a real user with a disability would. This requires using assistive technologies like screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and zooming to make sure your site is accessible to everyone.
Doesn’t manual testing take a long time?
All manual testing takes time, but test time decreases significantly with experience. Also, with Axe DevTools integration, manual testing requirements can be significantly reduced.
