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.
