As the announcement notes, tota11y is "an accessibility visualization toolkit that aims to reduce the friction of a11y testing." What it does is highlight areas on a page relevant to accessibility guidelines - for example, colour contrast, input elements, labels on photos, etc. It's easy to use - drag a bookmark into your bookmarks toolbar, and then it will run on any site with a small but of Javascript at the bottom. Here's the bookmarklet to drag into your bookmarks toolbar (I think it will work straight out of this post, if you're reading it in a web browser). And I've set it up on my home page so you can see how well (or poorly) I fare with respect to the guidelines - try it out.
