| # Accessibility Checklist | |
| This document aims to provide a quick testing workflow that will help you find and fix common accessibility issues, whether you're writing a PR or reviewing. | |
| For more background and resources, see [Accessibility](accessibility.md). | |
| ## Testing Tools | |
| - Do all `jsx-a11y` linting rules pass? | |
| - Give it a once-over using the [aXe browser extension](https://www.deque.com/axe/) to spot any obvious issues. | |
| ## General Readability | |
| - Is there sufficient contrast between any text and its background? Pay special attention to links, text in toolbars, and error messages. | |
| - Are all links visually identifiable as such? | |
| - Are any elements that indicate something using visual information (color, shape, location) supplemented with another indicator? | |
| - Is your page still readable when you increase the text size using the browser's text zoom settings? | |
| - Do any of the non-text elements on the page create a distraction? | |
| ## Keyboard Navigation | |
| Try navigating the page using only your keyboard. | |
| - Is there a visible indication of focus (can you tell where you are on the page)? | |
| - Can you navigate to all elements on the screen? Does the order make sense? | |
| - Does tabbing through a form take you through all the fields in a logical order? | |
| - Can you interact with all interactive elements (dropdowns, buttons, etc.)? | |
| - Can you interact with (including dismissing) any modals and error messages? | |
| ## Screen Reader Support | |
| - Do all form controls have associated labels and ARIA tags? | |
| - Are related form fields grouped with `fieldset` and described with `legend` tags? | |
| - Do all images have [descriptive alt text](https://a11yproject.com/posts/alt-text/)? | |
| - Do any visually-hidden elements have `aria-hidden` tags to hide them from screen readers? | |
| - Do all links have descriptive text (saying where they go as opposed to something like "click here")? | |
| - Do any modals or error messages provide useful feedback (via `aria-live` or similar tags)? | |
| - If on a Mac, enable [VoiceOver](https://help.apple.com/voiceover/info/guide/10.13/) and try navigating the page. | |
