Answer

The Angular ESLint plugin can catch some accessibility mistakes right inside your code editor while you type. The axe DevTools browser extension and Lighthouse in Chrome scan a running page and list real accessibility problems along with clear suggestions on how to fix each one.
// Running Lighthouse from the command line
npx lighthouse http://localhost:4200 --view

// Reports accessibility issues like missing labels, low contrast text, and more
