WebSite QA tools
Hi,
We have been using WebQA (desktop version of link checking tool) of Watchfire to QA our Web sites. Watchfire has ended support of this tool. We are looking for some alternatives. The enterprise version of this tool WebXM is expensive and seems overkill for link and accessibility checking.
Can you suggest other cheap alternatives?
Thanks,
Vivek.

Can you suggest a product that comes with support? Free is not always good.

It is a good tool.
I don't pay for any tool as I find the free ones do what I need. However, you can donate to them if you really want

The problem is that everyone in my organization who is going to use this tool is not technical enough and might need some help in setting it up. So, having support with this tool is a requirement for me.

That looks good. Have you tried this tool before? Any comments on its reliability (e.g. does it catch all the broken links)? One thing that I see missing in this tool which we had available in WebQA is accessibility testing. There is no spelling checker in this tool.
Any other suggestions?
I appreciate your help.

No I haven't tried it. I don't feel a need to pay for tools when free ones can do similar things.

Any other suggestions that include accessibility components e.g. spell checker?

I was expecting more responses to a question as generic as this one. I don't feel that I got enough response. Any suggestions on making any changes to this questions to attract more responses?
Did I put it in the right section?
Thanks,
