Don't believe the hype: 🛠️ Automated #accessibility testing tool vendors will tell you their tool can find more issues than it can. 🤖 #AI infused accessibility testing tool vendors will tell you their tool can find more issues than it can. https://lnkd.in/eWK-8ssK

I agree with everything in your article. However, although it says it has been updated to include all 55 success criteria, 5 are missing - 1.4.3, 2.3.1, 2.5.1, 2.5.2 and 2.5.4. Your summary appears to suggest that 6 success criteria can be automated, but in the detailed analysis all success criteria have caveats. I would not disagree with the latter, and in some cases I think you have been over-generous. BTW, the second paragraph contains a typo - "additonal ".

Although automated accessibility testing has it's role, it still can not replace manual auditing by professionals. Best case scenario, make sure people with disabilities are included in testing.
