Ideas for other accessibility tests

[frankieroberto]

This is a list of ideas for common accessibility issues caused by implementation mistakes, which could possibly be detected automatically by an rspec helper.

• Not having the "Error: " prefix on page titles when the error summary is present - DONE by summarise_errors
• Having links in an error summary which don’t focus a field (most common with radios and checkboxes) DONE by summarise_errors
• Duplicate "Change" links on check your answers pages, missing the visually-hidden text - Done by click_govuk_link although could also add to summarise?
• Links which are missing the govuk-link class, which means they don't get the focus style with the yellow background - done by click_govuk_link
• Back links or breadcrumbs appearing within the <main> element (which means they don’t get skipped by the skip link)
• Links that look like buttons (using govuk-button class) that are missing role=button and the javascript to make them accessible.
• Hint text which isn’t associated with the form input using aria-describedby.
• Missing autocomplete attribute on name, email, telephone or address inputs
• Labels not being associated with form fields (using the for= attribute)
• Missing role=alert on success notification banners
• Duplicate page titles across different pages
• Missing novalidate on forms containing an email, telephone or url fields (plus others?)
• Adding the required attribute to a form input
