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. Look for groups of checkboxes and radiobuttons and ensure that they are contained in fieldset
elements that contain a legend
element.

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