Reviews of arc toolkit:
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.
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).
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.
Really disappointed with the update. Not helpful at all. Please rollback. I am going to look for another tool as ARC Toolkit is no longer helpful.
Newer version did not work, it shows blank. Kindly fix the bug or rollback to the older version.
The previous version was so much better. Please roll back, or let us know if we can use older version prior to this major update.
Don't know if the question is, "What have you done?" more so than "Why did you do it?". I've been using this tool since 2015. No more. Once you put glasses on The Mona Lisa or paint on earrings, it's no longer priceless. At that point it becomes a misguided effort. Be like Walmart and roll back, please.
What have you done
Using this as one of the top tools for semi-automated inspections, especially when doing WCAG-EM reports. We also recommend it to all QA and Dev: the selected element inspection and sending code fragment to W3C markup validation service are invaluable: let say when we want to validate only a new dialog inside a complex web interface. It will be nice to have more information on the upcoming replacement, to plan accessibility testing process changes accordingly and promptly.
Just started using this one, and it looks promising. Though I would love some support for Dark Mode...
I like it but there seems to be a bug when I begin to scroll down to the lower test groups. Steps to recreate: 1) open ARC toolkit tab in inspector, click "run test" 2) click a test group with an error or warning 3) click an erroneous element in the test results (takes you to the "elements" tab) 4) go back to "ARC Toolkit" tab and try viewing a test group near the bottom of the list. The panel should jump back to the top when you try and scroll down.
Checks contrast of text over images (not every instance, but often), provides a visual representation of tab order, and allows you to modify elements in the developer console and re-scan to see if fixes clear the error. EXTREMELY time saving for QC, as many other tools do not allow you to re-inspect the elements without refreshing the page and clearing any changes. Also appreciate the clear remediation recommendations.
