A comprehensive collection of WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) notes created while learning web accessibility testing. This repository serves as a structured reference for developers, QA engineers, automation testers, and accessibility enthusiasts who want to understand how to evaluate and improve website accessibility using WAVE.
The notes are organized in Obsidian Markdown format, making them easy to read, search, and maintain as a long-term knowledge base.
WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) is a suite of accessibility evaluation tools developed by WebAIM that helps identify accessibility issues in web pages. Rather than determining whether a website is fully accessible, WAVE assists developers by highlighting potential accessibility problems and supporting manual accessibility evaluation based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
