Official methodology to test criterion 9.8

Test 1 (9.8)

iOS and Android
  1. Activate the screen reader.
  2. Fill in form input fields with values that are likely to cause input errors (e.g. enter an incorrectly formed e-mail address).
  3. Validate the form.
  4. For each mandatory form field that has a format check (which will be displayed with an error after validation), check that
    • the expected data type and/or format are rendered by the screen reader when focused on the field;
    • a visible text near the field indicates the expected data type and/or format.
  5. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
