Available Automation Evaluation

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

Linting Exists

Ember Template Lint: require-valid-alt-text

Testing Could Exist

It's possible that a check could be created for this potential failure. Review require-valid-alt-text linting rule and adapt for testing.

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

The developer should ensure that they do not use filenames or placeholder text for alt attribute values. A test should be written to ensure that the code does not regress if changed.

Manual Test Should Exist

Observe if there are images on the page. If there are, inspect the DOM and ensure that the alt attribute value does not contain filenames or placeholder text.
