Tools and Adddons to improve Software Testing
1. WAVE
http://wave.webaim.org/toolbar/
The WAVE Firefox toolbar provides a mechanism for running WAVE reports directly within Firefox. Because the toolbar reports runs entirely
within your web browser, no information is sent to the WAVE server. This ensures 100% private and secure accessibility reporting. The
toolbar can check intranet, password-protected, dynamically generated, or sensitive web pages. Also, because the WAVE toolbar evaluates
the rendered version of your page, locally displayed styles and dynamically-generated content from scripts or AJAX can be evaluated.
2. Pixel Perfect

Pixel Perfect is a Firefox/Firebug extension that allows web developers and designers to easily overlay a web composition over top of the
developed HTML.
