According to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) accessibility is essential for those who want to create high quality web environments, and not exclude people from using their products and services. Yet surveys like “The WebAIM Million” show no significant improvement in web accessibility. In some areas it even decreases.
In order to fight this trend, accessibility test tools are the prefered solution. They provide a shift-left testing approach that reduces the overall effort and puts developers in an effective position to increase a website’s accessibility.
Unfortunately the quality of these tools varies drastically. To find the tool best suited to your needs, this repo contains a test system for accessibility error detection and prevention. It is riddled with accessibility issues. For each there is information about the violated WCAG guideline and in most cases additional information.

So far some success criteria lack test cases. Feel free to supplement those!
The collection of errors is derived mainly from two sources: GDS and WCAG. Thanky you for this inspiration!
- GDS: https://github.com/alphagov/accessibility-tool-audit
- WCAG: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/
