In addition to the rules mentioned above that are off by default, \"page-level\" rules do not run for component tests. Since a component is usually a page fragment, rules related to page structure and expected attributes do no need to run.\n",

While Cypress does not commit to updating our internal Axe Core® version within a specific timeframe, we will always wait at least 30 days before making an update. Since some updates introduce new rules or address bugs that change how issues are detected, this buffer is intended to give you time to make changes in your use of our [Results API](/llm/markdown/accessibility/guides/results-api.md) if needed. Axe Core® releases can be tracked [in GitHub](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/releases).\n\nThe specific Axe Core® version used by Cypress for a run can be seen in the Properties tab for that run in Cypress Cloud, and is also included in the Results API.\n",
