Starting my first accessibility testing

Hello everyone,

I have the following question.

As was recommended here, I read some articles about getting started with
accessibility.

And I started to try investigating accessibility issues on web-page
according to these easy checks tips:

https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/preliminary/

I am trying to use the wave accessibility testing tool, but i am very
confused with the way how it presents an information.

I am using the nvda screen-reader,  google chrome and I noticed that
when wave represents the error, it doesn't show the error in markup, it
shows the graphical image and that way I cannot understand where the
error appears. Nvda just anounces forum label 1, 2 and ETC.

That way I cannot tell where the accessibility issue is.

Also I read these wave accessibility tips:

https://wave.webaim.org/accessibility

But now they didn't help me much.

I also tried to use the access assistant accessibility tool, but it
appeared even more confusing for me.

What can you recommend to do?

I am an absolute beginner in accessibility testing and would like to
start it's investigation.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
