Test Case Instruction
Test Instruction | Instruction Detail | Expected Test Case Result |
---|---|---|
IC-1 | Visually apparent headings, which denote sections of content. Headings are often in a larger, bolded font separated from paragraphs by extra spacing (though not always). Note the hierarchy and structure of each heading with respect to other headings on the page. | Visual apparent headings found. |
13.2-1 | Check that all visual headings are programmatically determinable and that programmatic heading levels logically match the visual heading presentation within the heading structure [SC 1.3.1]. | |
13.2-1.a | The most important heading(s) should have the highest priority level. For example, <h1> is a higher level than <h2> , which is higher than <h3> . |
Pass: The <h1> heading is higher than the other <h2> headings. |
13.2-1.b | Headings with an equal or higher level start a new section; headings with a lower level start new subsections that are part of the higher leveled section. | Pass: the visual hierarchy of the headings are correct |
13.2-1.c | HTML or ARIA programmatically identify each heading. When both are used, heading levels must match. H42: each heading is marked with <h1> to <h6> . ARIA12: each heading is marked with role="heading" and aria-level="#" . The default heading level is “2” when none is specified. |
Fail: a visual heading is not programmatically identified with HTML or ARIA |
Result | If the above check fails, then Baseline Test 13.2-VisHeadingProg fails. | FAIL; 13.2-1.c fails |
