Axe

Check accessibility conformance.

Axe runs a WCAG conformance scan on the page during the Run. Use it to catch accessibility issues in the same journey as your functional steps.

Axe Test Step

When to use it

• Scan a full page for WCAG violations after the screen is loaded.

• Set Conformance Level to the WCAG level your team expects. The default is WCAG 2.1 - AA.

• Pair with Accessibility when you also want a Lighthouse score threshold.

• Add Check computed role and Check computed label on buttons, links, and form fields that users must understand.

For a Flow Builder walkthrough, see Add accessibility checks.
