Form Names - accessible name from placeholder attribute

Test Case Summary

Test Case ID

TC10.1-all-pass-1

Test Case Description

Detect attributes that would contribute to the accessible name and accessible description computation and calculate the text alternative for the input element. The code sample data presents a placeholder attributes that contributes to the accessible name output. A successful test should identify a passing implementation against Baseline Test 10.1 FormName.

Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	Find all form components. Examples include buttons, text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, read-only fields, and multi-select lists.	One `<input>` element exists in the test data code sample.
IC-2	Find all instructions and cues (textual and graphical) that are related to form components, including groupings, order of completion, special conditions or qualifiers, format instructions, etc.	The `<input>` control has a visual prompt in the form of the placeholder text.
10.1-1	Check that the combination of the accessible name and accessible description is not empty. [SC 4.1.2]	The output for the accessible name and accessible descriptions computations is populated via the value of the placeholder text.
10.1-2	Check that the non-empty combination of the accessible name and accessible description and other programmatic associations (e.g., table column and/or row associations) describes each form component and includes all relevant instructions and cues (textual and graphical). [SC 1.3.1]	The accessible name “Enter First and Last Name” describes the field with all relevant instructions.
Result	If any of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 10.1-FormName fails.	Pass - all checks pass.
