ARC Toolkit Extension

The ARC Toolkit is a set of accessibility tools which aids developers in identifying accessibility problems and features for WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549, and Section 508

The toolkit is designed to be integrated into automated and manual accessibility tests and works alongside the auditor or developer in order to simplify repetitive tasks and interactively explore accessibility features and problems. The ARC Toolkit is tightly integrated with Chrome’s Developer Tools and uses the ARC rule set, the same rules used by default in the ARC platform. This allows developers and quality assurance testers to take their ARC testing into their development environments and thoroughly investigate issues raised in ARC scans.

Launched from the Developer Tools, the ARC Toolkit panel includes a set of tests that shows results both in the panel and in the page itself. Each test can be toggled on and off so types of issues can be isolated. Issues can be selected and viewed directly in the Elements panel.

It runs completely local within Chrome and works within iframes, so it can evaluate any page you can browse to. If you would like to pages that are not live on a website but are in development, turn on the option to \"Allow access to file URLs\".

Because this tool is actively used by the TPGi team, there are frequent updates as we further develop and refine the rules and features. If you would like training on how to use ARC Toolkit for testing, please contact TPGi at https://www.tpgi.com/contact/.

Forest Walker (ID: 000000b4d48aee25) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 This is the only accessibility tool that works with iframes... Not even google lighthouse can do that! Thank you for this awesome tool. 5 stars!!

Heather Migliorisi (ID: 0000005e3a8fa5c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/19/2023 UPDATE - Thank you so much for adding the missing items back. I absolutely love this tool! It is extemely helpful for viewing things like headings, landmarks, lists, forms, aria, and alt text for screenshots quickly and easily. 💗💗💗 -----------------original review----------------- The update removed the majority of features that made this tool so useful. Please rollback or bring back the features (resize text, headings, landmarks, lists, forms, aria, and easily displaying alt text for screenshots).

Shelly Gearheart (ID: 0000003b47c26395) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/26/2022 Since the last update to the toolkit, I'm seeing two errors. For the issue of "Aria label on incompatible element", it's showing in ARC toolkit as a "Best Practice", not as the error it is according to the ARC scan from their website. Also, the issue "Modal has no accessible name" is no longer showing in ARC toolkit scans. Other than that, at my place of work, we really miss the feature that showed the tab order.

Krzysztof Busłowicz (ID: 00000068389acadd) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/23/2022 This used to be great, clean tool for preliminary accessibility checks and I used it for 5 years. Easy and stable interface. Sadly, the new version is almost unusable. Tool is sluggish and has messy interface. In previous version you could switch between topics with one click. Now you have to uncheck one and check another. Everything was available on main view. Now you have to perform addiitional clicking to get to ie. check reflow. That's no good UX for professional tool to make users click more and search for most used options. With such an improvement I'm going to find another tool.

Rose Peruski (ID: 000000860f8d127e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/02/2022 The previous version was so great, I don't know why the features were taken away. I loved using this tool for headings, landmarks, lists, easily displaying alt text for screenshots. I don't feel like there is anything in this version that I can't get in other tools any longer.
