I finally had the chance to check the Visual Studio extension that Scott found below. It is a bit tricky to install and use it, but it works very nicely.

I ran it on one of the pages I created in VS 2015 community edition and it immediately found some errors like iframe without a title. The list showed up after the checker ran and as I pressed Enter on the error, it took me right to it in the proper file and line.

Nice job and it is based on the Axe engine, so you know that the checking is pretty accurate.

If any of you wants to run it and find out how to use it with JAWS let me know. I will put a set of instructions together.
