Last position:
Frontend Developer at Volkswagen Financial Services AG
Cross-brand design system
Focus: Analysis of the causes of recurring layout deviations in design system components. The cause was the integration of visual regression tests (BackstopJS) into the build and approval process: deviations were not blocked, and reference images were replaced without approval.
Recommendations for a controlled workflow with mandatory approval and test results as a prerequisite for merging. Contributed to the successor system based on Lit/Web Components.
Technologies: Lit, Web Components, SCSS, Gulp, BackstopJS, GitHub Enterprise, JFrog Artifactory

About the technology
What axe-core does
axe-core is an open-source accessibility testing engine maintained by Deque. It analyzes HTML interfaces and reports machine-detectable issues against rules linked to WCAG. It runs inside browser-based test suites and helps teams find barriers before release.
Where it fits
The engine supports accessibility checks for websites, single-page applications and component libraries. It can be used with Selenium, WebdriverIO, Cypress, Playwright and other browser automation setups. Teams also use integrations such as axe DevTools and framework-specific packages for React, Angular and Vue.
- Scan rendered pages and reusable components
- Detect missing labels, invalid ARIA and contrast issues
- Add accessibility checks to pull requests and CI
- Review findings with manual keyboard and screen-reader tests
Typical deliverables
A specialist can create a dependable axe-core test strategy, configure rules for different environments and connect results to existing quality workflows. Deliverables may include reusable test helpers, filtered reports, remediation guidance and documentation for product teams. The goal is actionable findings rather than a noisy list of warnings.
When companies need help
Freelance expertise is useful when accessibility testing is being introduced to an established frontend stack, when automated checks produce confusing results, or when a product is preparing for a formal review. It also helps during migrations between test frameworks and when a shared design system needs consistent coverage across many interfaces.
In Germany, specialists may support distributed product teams or collaborate on site with accessibility, quality and frontend groups. Clear communication in English or German can matter when findings must be explained to several business and technical stakeholders.
Skills around the engine
Strong axe-core work combines browser automation with practical accessibility knowledge. Relevant skills include DOM inspection, semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard interaction, focus management, screen-reader behavior and WCAG interpretation. Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript, test runners, CI systems and component-driven development makes integrations more reliable.
Choosing a strong specialist
Look for someone who can distinguish automated violations from issues that require human review. Good professionals explain why a rule fired, reproduce it in the relevant user flow and propose a fix that preserves usability. They also tune configuration carefully, document exceptions and prevent recurring issues through shared test patterns.
- Connect findings to user journeys, not only isolated selectors
- Separate genuine defects from context-dependent results
- Verify fixes with keyboard and assistive technology checks
- Make accessibility testing maintainable for the internal team
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about axe-core.
axe-core is used to automate accessibility checks in rendered web interfaces and application components. It can identify issues such as missing form labels, incorrect ARIA relationships, invalid landmark use and some color contrast problems, while manual testing remains necessary for complete coverage.
axe-core is the testing engine that can be embedded directly into browser automation and development workflows. Lighthouse and Pa11y provide broader audit experiences or command-line workflows, while axe-core is often chosen when teams need repeatable checks inside tools such as Cypress, Playwright or Selenium.
A strong axe-core specialist understands semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, focus behavior and WCAG success criteria. JavaScript or TypeScript, browser automation, CI pipelines and screen-reader testing are also valuable because automated findings need technical fixes and human validation.
A small integration may only require familiarity with a frontend test runner and common accessibility rules. A larger product benefits from an axe-core professional who can design coverage, manage false positives, define review practices and connect automated findings with manual assessment.
axe-core work is usually well suited to remote collaboration because configuration, test code and reports can be reviewed in shared repositories and CI systems. On-site sessions in Germany can still help when teams need workshops on accessibility findings, component standards or internal testing processes.
axe-core can test web content rendered in mobile browsers and responsive layouts, but it does not replace native mobile accessibility testing. Native applications require platform-specific checks for interaction, semantics, focus and assistive technologies.
Ask the axe-core specialist to show how findings are reproduced, prioritized and connected to user impact. Quality work explains limitations, includes manual checks, avoids indiscriminate rule suppression and leaves behind tests that the product team can maintain.
Common issues include scanning components before they are fully rendered, running checks on incomplete application states and treating every result as equally urgent. An experienced axe-core professional also watches for duplicate scans, unstable selectors, unsuitable rule configuration and fixes that solve the report without improving the user experience.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used axe-core in their recent projects is 83 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 666 € based on an 8-hour working day.
