Potential A11y Violation:
Incorrect `alt` attribute value

Point of Failure

The alt attribute value should not include information conveyed by color differences (e.g., "click the red button to submit the form")

Available Automation Evaluation

In checking known available linting and testing tools, these are our findings.

Linting Could Exist

It's possible that a linting rule could be created for this potential failure. Parse alt attribute value and determine whether or not it contains any color words.

Testing Could Exist

It's possible that a testing rule could be created for this potential failure. Parse alt attribute value and determine whether or not it contains any color words.

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.
