Atag
Atag is a web accessibility testing tool designed to help developers and testers evaluate and improve the accessibility of websites and web applications. It automates the detection of common accessibility issues, such as missing alt text, improper heading structures, and color contrast problems, by scanning web pages against established standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). The tool provides detailed reports and actionable recommendations to ensure digital content is usable by people with disabilities.
Developers should learn and use Atag to ensure their web projects comply with accessibility laws and standards, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and WCAG, which are critical for legal compliance and inclusive design. It is particularly valuable in development workflows for identifying and fixing accessibility barriers early, reducing the risk of costly retrofits and improving user experience for all audiences, including those using assistive technologies like screen readers.
