Axe is a popular accessibility testing tool developed by Deque Systems that helps teams ensure that their web applications are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Axe integrates into the development workflow, providing developers with actionable feedback on accessibility issues directly within their existing tools. Its automated testing features scan web applications for accessibility violations against established standards like WCAG, making it easier for teams to identify issues early in the development process.

Key features of Axe include a comprehensive set of accessibility rules, integration with various testing frameworks like Selenium and Protractor, and the ability to generate detailed reports with recommendations for resolving issues. Teams choose Axe because it not only aids in maintaining compliance with accessibility regulations but also enhances user experience for a wider audience. While Axe itself is available for free, Deque also offers premium services and support for organizations needing more extensive accessibility solutions.
