5.5 Is each state of a toggle control presented to the user perceptible?

Official methodology to test criterion 5.5

Test 1 (5.5)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify toggle controls on the screen (buttons with one or more states, e.g. checkboxes, radio buttons, switches).
  2. Check that it is possible to determine the state of the control on the basis of its presentation in the interface (for example, a change in shape when the control goes from one state to another).
  3. Activate the screen reader and navigate to the control.
  4. Check that the state of the control is rendered by the screen reader without having to interact with the control.
  5. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
