The tool will help software development teams identify and priorities accessibility test findings within the agile development cycle. A brief review will be shown of the fundamental test processes proposed by some other testing software that evaluate the accessibility of web applications. The goal of our tool is to deliver a usable output for developers and product managers that is streamlined., targeted., and integrated into existing workflows. The result of the review reflects an array of proposals to incorporate accessibility requirements and evaluation reporting documents.
