Tips:

  • Remember: this is a manual test!
  • You are only testing that each form field has a label or instruction-you are NOT validating the label/instruction is accurate nor programmatically associated.
  • The form label/instruction must be visible when the form field has focus (e.g., a tooltip revealed on focus may pass but having placeholder text that disappears on focus would not pass).
  • For form elements that have several form inputs for one label, such as a phone number, each form element must have a label or instruction to explain its purpose. Formatting instructions may qualify as a label/instructions that pertain to EACH of the form fields, even though it is provided in a single label.
