One another suggestion - It is always recommended to do a thorough manual testing, if you are testing a new or major re-design application. As the automated checkers may provide you the violations list, but the results are not complete for Accessibility/WCAG standards evaluation.

For example, the guidelines listed below does require manual intervention to conclude the accessibility standards are met around these criteria.
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A)
1.4.1 Use of Color (Level A)
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A)
2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA)
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation (Level AA)
3.2.4 Consistent Identification (Level AA)
3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A)

Happy New Year!
