Tools for using aXe for web accessibility testing with C# and Selenium.

Deprecation Notice

Why is this project being deprecated?

  • Deque is officially taking on the .Net bindings
    • https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core-nuget
    • https://www.nuget.org/packages/Deque.AxeCore.Selenium/

Is this a good thing?

  • Yes
    • Selenium.Axe actually uses Deque’s Axe core under the hood
    • This should help keep the .Net bindings at feature parity with the other official supported binding, such as Java and JavaScript

What will be happening?

  • Upgrade instructions will be provided early in 2023
  • This project will be archived
  • The NuGet package will be deprecated and https://www.nuget.org/packages/Deque.AxeCore.Selenium/ will be set as the alternate package

Anything special we should know?

  • The new Deque project will support both Selenium and Playwright
  • A new project (https://github.com/microsoft/html-reporter-for-axe-core-dotnet) will be used for creating HTML reports. This should provide a much better user experience than the admittedly primitive reporting currently included in Selenium.Axe
