Potential A11y Violation:
Missing input element required attribute

Point of Failure

Required input fields should use the HTML required attribute correctly. This attribute is used to indicate that a field must be filled out before submitting a 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.

Testing Could Exist

It's possible that a check could be created for this potential failure. Check for presence of common required indicators and make sure the required attribute also exists.

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 input fields for common required indicators. Inspect the DOM to ensure that the required attribute is present on those fields.
