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.
