About Asqatasun

Asqatasun automates accessibility and SEO testing for a single page, an entire site or a web application, with rules based on the French RGAA standard. It has an API, so audits can run as part of continuous integration.

The project began in 2007 as EvalAccess, later became Tanaguru, and was forked as Asqatasun by its original creators after the company behind Tanaguru closed in 2014. You can download it, run it with Docker or try it in a Vagrant box. It suits organisations that want to run their own audit server.

Strengths

  • Audits whole sites, not just single pages
  • API for use in continuous integration
  • Docker and Vagrant setups available

Limitations

  • Rules follow the French RGAA standard
  • Requires running your own server
