Deque Introduces Automated Source Code Accessibility Checker

▤ Summary

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deque Systems, a leading software company specializing in digital accessibility, today introduced axe Linter, an automated GitHub-based app which checks source code for common accessibility issues, automatically finding and suggesting fixes. Once axe Linter is enabled for a GitHub organization, it can be installed or enforced on every repository, running automatically on every change or pull request without further input or processes from the development team. “Axe Linter saves time and money by shifting inspection to the earliest phase of development, so accessibility problems can be identified and repaired before code even gets merged,” says Dylan Barrell, Chief Technology Officer at Deque Systems. When combined with the popular free axe Browser Extension for testing within the browser, or any of Deque’s Enterprise offerings, development teams have everything they need to make a huge impact on making their apps more accessible to people with disabilities,” says Preety Kumar, CEO, Deque Systems. Deque (pronounced dee-cue) is a web accessibility software and services company, and our mission is Digital Equality.
