The code sample provides links that describes the intent of each link when combined with context from each link’s list hierarchy. A successful test should identify a PASS for Baseline 14.1-LinkPurpose.

Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	All links including those that are scripted elements and assigned a role of a link.	The sample code contains multiple links.
14.1-1	Check that the combination of accessible name and accessible description is not empty. [SC 4.1.2]	Pass - each link provides an accessible name and description.
14.1-2	Check that the purpose of each link can be determined from any combination of the link text, accessible name and accessible description, and preceding page context (same paragraph, list, or table cell as the link or in a table header cell that is associated with the table cell that contains the link). [SC 2.4.4]	Pass - each link’s inner text combined with the context of the list hierarchy sufficiently describes the link’s purpose.
Result	If any of the above checks passes, then Baseline Test 14.1-Links.	Pass - all checks pass.
