Frequently asked questions
How do I get access to Axe Developer Hub?
Axe Developer Hub is available as a part of the Axe DevTools for Web bundle. It cannot be purchased as a standalone offering.
How does it work with the axe DevTools Linter?
Axe Developer Hub and Axe DevTools Linter serve different purposes in accessibility testing.
Teams use Axe Developer Hub to get more value from their end-to-end (E2E) tests by easily integrating accessibility testing into E2E workflows and providing actionable accessibility reports.
Because E2E testing happens in a web browser, tests can run against the full set of Axe-core rules. This provides more comprehensive coverage and testing of a rendered web app. However, you need to wait for your E2E test suite to complete before reviewing results.
Axe DevTools Linter provides fast accessibility feedback directly in the IDE, as part of pre-commit or CI/CD processes. Because linting analyzes “static code,” it tests a subset of Axe-core rules. This provides quicker, near-instant feedback, but with slightly less coverage than the full E2E tests.
Can I use it in on-premise environments?
Yes, Axe Developer Hub can be deployed on your on-premise systems, allowing you to integrate automated accessibility testing into your end-to-end testing workflows. This setup keeps your data on your own servers, giving you flexibility while meeting your organization’s security and compliance needs.
What testing languages and frameworks does it support?
Axe Developer Hub supports Selenium-based Java testing alongside the most popular JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks, including Cypress, Playwright, Puppeteer, and WebdriverIO.
