You didn't build the third-party tool. Your users still experience its barriers. If it runs on your site, test it.

Test the Third-Party Stuff Too: Why Accessibility Testing Must Include Vendor Solutions
Skipping accessibility testing on third-party tools because you can’t edit them leaves you blind to real barriers and real legal risk. Testing gives you the knowledge to keep, configure, escalate or replace a vendor product, and builds a good-faith record that protects your users and your business.

What 113 accessibility professionals say about auditing - Labrador Blog
I asked 113 accessibility professionals whether they audit criteria-first or issues-first. Most do both, for four different reasons: scope, speed, real barriers, and the issues WCAG doesn’t cover. What they said, how I work, and what it means for the tools we build.

How many pages is enough in an accessibility audit? - AFixt
Anyone who performs accessibility audits eventually gets asked the same question: How many pages should we test? There is no especially satisfying answer to this question.
