In their own words

axe-playwright

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.

nvm

nvm is a free, MIT-licensed command-line tool for installing and managing Node.js versions. It is designed for installation per user and invocation per shell, and works in POSIX-compliant shells including sh, dash, ksh, zsh, and bash. Users can install specific versions, switch between them, set aliases such as a default, and use LTS aliases and commands to select long-term support versions. A project can specify its Node.js version in an.nvmrc file; documented shell snippets can support automatic switching. During installation, nvm can reinstall global npm packages from another installed Node.js version. With the --offline flag, it can install a version that was previously downloaded or cached without network access. The project documents use in Docker, including an example for CI/CD jobs. On Windows, nvm can work through WSL and may work with Git Bash or Cygwin depending on the environment. Fish shell is not supported, and the project points users to community alternatives. The project states that only the latest nvm version is supported.
