Potential A11y Violation:
Missing form control groups ​

Point of Failure ​

Grouped form controls should use fieldset and legend elements

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.

Testing 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.
