About axe DevTools
axe DevTools is Deque's accessibility testing product line. The browser extension runs automated checks on the page you have open, and further toolkits cover the IDE, CI/CD pipelines and mobile apps on iOS and Android, including React Native linting and automated UI tests.
Deque states a commitment to zero false positives and groups duplicate results so issues are quicker to fix. Automated checks catch only part of what WCAG covers, so manual testing is still needed. The wider product is aimed at development teams and sold with demos and enterprise plans.
