Greetings, again:


Actually, this is the link to the outcome, and it's what I was
originally looking for:


https://alphagov.github.io/accessibility-tool-audit/

And while looking for it, I found other items that some may find of
interest, so I will include below my name. As with all things in
accessibility-land, mind the dates!

While some of what's below results in "tool outcome comparisons," my
point in including is to offer suggestions of places that show tests.

I also think, at one time (anyway), there was a W3C automated testing
community group that was working on this kind of thing, so perhaps that
work would be worth tracking down. And here is a place to start:

https://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/

Best,
Jennifer
[who works hard, as a volunteer, every day, to try to prevent duplicated
effort. People complain that accessibility is hard and expensive, and it
seems to me that a big reason why is "wheel re-invention. I get that
some of this becomes about "intellectual property," but maybe sharing
tests, and monitizing the UI/making it efficient for *all* users could
be a resource generator.]

These two go together:

This CSUN 2016 presentation by Terrill where he tests against Accessible
University (with its known 18 issues):

And then, of course, there's the WAI's own Before and After Demo which
certainly offers some tests:
