Other Test Methods ​

In addition to automated tests, there are other types of tests that could be conducted to prevent this potential violation.

Developer Authored Test Could Exist ​

Developers should make sure that their code does not violate this rule, and try to write a test that would prevent a regression in accessibility if the code is later changed.

Manual Test Exists ​

Review page and ensure the point of failure does not exist, inspecting the DOM where required.
