Potential A11y Violation:
Incorrect tab component roles

Point of Failure

Elements used as tabs should be marked with the correct roles

Available Automation Evaluation

In checking known available linting and testing tools, these are our findings.

Linting Cannot Exist

How could we programmatically determine that a UI component is being used as a tab, unless it already had the correct roles to indicate such?

Testing Cannot Exist

See above.

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.
