Potential A11y Violation:
Invalid images of text as headings

Point of Failure

Images of text should not be used as headings.

Available Automation Evaluation

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

Linting Could Exist

Potentially automatable but there are a lot of violations to consider.

  • how do we programmatically identify images of text
  • how do we programmatically identify headings
  • how do we programmatically identify that an image of text is being used as a header

Testing Could 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 the page. Check headings to insure they are not images of text.
