Frequently asked questions
Do users of Axe DevTools Extension need accessibility expertise?
No, you can use these tools even if you have limited or no accessibility experience. Deque’s AI accessibility tools and features are built to reduce the need for specialized expertise, making accessibility testing approachable for everyone—not just experts.
What browsers is the Axe DevTools Extension available in?
You can use the Axe DevTools Extension in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox.
What rules and standards does Axe DevTools Extension test for?
The Axe DevTools Extension runs tests based on established accessibility standards, including WCAG levels A, AA, and AAA (versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2). It can also be configured to check against other standards like Section 508 and EN 301 549.
Does the Axe DevTools Extension help with manual testing?
Yes. While Axe DevTools Extension is best known for automated testing via Axe-core, it also supports manual testing. After running automated and Intelligent Guided Tests (IGTs), users can follow the “Remaining Testing” checklist, which walks them through the additional manual testing needed. The extension also includes a manual issue feature, allowing users to flag issues manually so they can be accounted for.
How is Axe DevTools Extension (Pro) different from the Axe DevTools Extension (Free)?
The Axe DevTools Extension (Pro) enhances accessibility testing with Intelligent Guided Tests (IGTs), AI-assisted features, and more advanced reporting and sharing tools, helping teams uncover and fix complex accessibility issues that automated tests alone might miss. The free Axe DevTools Extension only provides automated testing, and you can only test one page at a time. The “Pro” version adds machine learning enhancements, guided manual testing, and collaboration capabilities for more comprehensive coverage.
