Tools and requirements

  • Siteimprove (policy)
  • Manual Testing

Test procedure

Check for the following

  • Ensure that each section of the webpage that is visually identified as a landmark region is implemented as a landmark region.
  • Ensure that HTML does not include any presentational attributes in situations where it is deprecated (e.g., height and width are deprecated on tables). You can utilize the Siteimprove policy "HTML used for presentation instead of CSS" to check.
  • Ensure that underlining is not used for text emphasis. Underlined text is used to identify a link or other form of interactive text.
