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.
