Hi Jeanpierre,

as semi-automatic eval tools, I found good:
* web developer toolbar for Firefox 
<https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=60>
* webXact <http://www.webxact.com/>
* or TAW if you want a tool running locally <http://www.tawdis.net/>

But I think you already know that accessibility has to do with semantics 
and logic (so with human factors), and so it requires overall a human 
evaluation.

For both human and automatic approaches see <http://w3.org/WAI/eval/>.

Ciao
Luca
