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 Must Exist
While inspecting alt
attribute values, ensure that no information is included that conveys color differences.
