axe-playwright vs juliaup

axe-playwright adds axe-core accessibility checks to Playwright tests. Its commands can inject and configure axe, check a page, retrieve results or violations, and report findings. Checks can cover a whole page document or a selected DOM context such as a selector. Options support axe.run settings, impact filtering, detailed reports, and verbose output; an optional setting logs violations without failing the test. The integration works with Playwright’s Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers. Reporting options include terminal output, a v2 terminal format, HTML, and JUnit. The project shows configurations for WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA, best-practice, and EN 301 549 tags, and lists WCAG 2.2 coverage. Installation uses axe-playwright and Playwright as npm development dependencies. axe-core is bundled, so a separate installation is not needed. The package is distributed under the MIT License. It is available for Linux and web, with CI/CD integration. The project says it is not formally affiliated with Deque Systems, though it uses axe-core with permission.
