Test Case Description

Determine the functionality of visible and hidden interactive interface components (links, form fields, drop down menus, show/hide content, tree views, pop ups/light boxes, iframes, etc.) available using a mouse (hover and/or click). Check that individual keystrokes do not require specific timings for activation.

Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	All functionality of the content that is available by mouse control must be keyboard accessible. Determine the functionality of visible and hidden interactive interface components (links, form fields, drop down menus, show/hide content, tree views, pop ups/light boxes, iframes, etc.) available using a mouse (hover and/or click).	Two form fields and two buttons are accessible via mouse. There is no alternative control.
1.1-1	Check that all functionality can be accessed and executed using only the keyboard. [SC 2.1.1]	Pass - all functionality can be accessed and executed using only the keyboard
1.1-2	Check that individual keystrokes do not require specific timings for activation. [SC 2.1.1]	Fail - changing the Request Password Reset button to Request User Name requires the user to hold the spacebar for three seconds.
1.1-2a	If operation requires specific timings of individual keystrokes, check if another control is provided on the page with the same functionality which does not require specific timings for operation.	Fail: there is no alternative control that does not require specific timings for operation.
Result	If any of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 1.1-KeyboardAccess fails.	Fail - 1.1-2 check fails.
