Does anyone know about the status, availability, or quality of WCAG evaluation tools that prompt users to look at checkpoints that require some degree of manual inspection? These may be called "Step-by-Step" or "wizard-based" evaluation tools:
"Wizard-based evaluation tools guide users through sequences of checks step by step. Sometimes these tools are able to execute some of the accessibility checks automatically and prompt the users to manually evaluate the remaining checks. For example, an evaluation tool with a wizard interface may be able to automatically check if the images on a Web site have text descriptions, then display the images with their corresponding descriptions to the users to evaluate how appropriate these descriptions are."https://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html
Do any of these tools exist?
