Official methodology to test criterion 9.6

Test 1 (9.6)

iOS and Android
  1. Activate the screen reader.
  2. Identify on the screen the fields of the same kind that need to be grouped together (for example, the fields for entering the different sequences of digits in a credit card code).
  3. Check that
    • when the focus is placed on the first field, information is rendered identifying the group to which the field belongs (although this is important for users, it is not required that the grouping information is rendered on each of the form fields, but only on at least the first field in the grouping);
    • the information rendered is relevant, i.e. that it enables the nature of the grouping to be understood.
  4. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
