Official methodology to test criterion 7.5
Test 1 (7.5.1)
- Find the messages in the document that are status messages.
- For each of these messages, determine the nature of the information contained in the message:
- If the message informs you of the success or result of an action, or the state of an application, check that the element containing the message
- either uses the WAI-ARIA
role="status"attribute; - or uses the WAI-ARIA
aria-live="polite"andaria-atomic="true"attributes.
- either uses the WAI-ARIA
- If the message presents a suggestion, or warns of the existence of an error, check that the element containing the message
- either uses the WAI-ARIA
role="alert"attribute; - or uses the
aria-live="assertive"andaria-atomic="true"attributes.
- either uses the WAI-ARIA
- If the message indicates the progress of a process, check that the element containing the message
- either uses one of the WAI-ARIA
role="log",role="progressbar"orrole="status"attributes; - or use the WAI-ARIA
aria-live="polite"attribute if the intention is to report the equivalent of a"log" role; - or use the WAI-ARIA
aria-live="polite"andaria-atomic="true"attributes if the intention is to signal the equivalent of a"status"role.
- either uses one of the WAI-ARIA
- If this is the case, the test is validated.
