Name two accessibility testing tools and what they evaluate.

• A. Axe (automated accessibility checks for WCAG violations) and Lighthouse (performance and accessibility metrics)
• B. Photoshop and Illustrator
• C. SQL and Python
• D. Slack and Teams

Answer: (B)

Testing accessibility relies on automated tools that scan web pages for common barriers and measure how well content complies with accessibility guidelines. Two widely used tools are Axe and Lighthouse. Axe performs automated checks specifically for WCAG violations, flagging issues like missing alt text on images, insufficient color contrast, improper label associations for form controls, and inaccessible navigation order. Lighthouse, built into Chrome DevTools, runs broad audits and includes an accessibility category that assesses similar issues—plus other aspects like semantic HTML usage, keyboard focus management, and ARIA patterns—within its overall performance-minded evaluation. This combination helps developers quickly identify and fix major accessibility gaps while also providing a broader quality snapshot of the page.

Other options aren’t testing tools for accessibility. Photoshop and Illustrator are graphic design programs; SQL and Python are programming languages; Slack and Teams are communication platforms.
