Overview of axe DevTools® CLI

Axe DevTools CLI is a Command Line Application for scanning Web pages for accessibility issues and for generating reports. Axe DevTools CLI can be used as an executable, or as a NodeJS package.

With Axe DevTools CLI, organizations can automate accessibility testing without having to integrate axe into integration or end-to-end tests. This is ideal for organizations that either do not have such a test suite, or those who use languages for which there is currently no Axe DevTools API available.

The key features of axe DevTools CLI are:

• Test individual pages
• Test workflows
• Generate reports in various formats
• Build custom ruleset files
