Patterns, templates, and reference data for integrating automated accessibility scanning into CI/CD pipelines.

axe-core CLI Reference

npm install --save-dev @axe-core/cli
npx axe <url> --tags wcag2a,wcag2aa,wcag21a,wcag21aa,wcag22aa

Output Formats

• --reporter json — JSON to stdout
• --reporter sarif — SARIF for code scanning
• --reporter html — Human-readable HTML
• --save <file> — Save to file

Exit Codes

• 0: No violations
• 1: Violations found
• 2: Error

Baseline Pattern

axe-baseline.json tracks known violations so CI only fails on regressions:

current = scan()
baseline = load("axe-baseline.json")
new = current - baseline
if new.count > 0: FAIL
else: PASS
