Hi, I have found that WAVE produces a lot of false positives and that you still need to make quite a few determinations, but it is a great tool, specially for low hanging fruit like Nico mentions.
For high hanging fruit (modern UX issues) the Accessibility Evaluator [1] is pretty comprehensive, and Juicy Studio Accessibility Toolbar [2] less feature rich but has a good color analyzer.
