Manual test checklist​

Use this checklist for quality beyond automated rules: keyboard journeys, media, language, and judgment-heavy success criteria. Pair it with WCAG 2.2 Understanding and your own test plan.

AreaManual verification focus
1.2.x Time-based mediaCaptions, audio description, transcripts, sign language. Exercise with real media workflows and tooling.
1.3.2 Meaningful sequence · 1.3.3 Sensory characteristics · 1.3.5 Identify input purposeReading order, instructions, autofill semantics. Design and assisted-tech review.
1.4.4 Resize text · 1.4.5 Images of text · 1.4.13 Content on hover or focusZoom, images-of-text, hover layers. Interactive and visual testing.
Full keyboard operability & real focus behaviorAutomated rules support you; still walk critical paths with keyboard only and assistive technologies.
2.4.5–2.4.6, 2.4.8–2.4.10Multiple ways, headings/labels (extended), location. Document expectations and verify in session.
2.2.3–2.2.6 · 2.3.2–2.3.3Extended timing and motion. Validate against your UX and policy.
3.1.x Language of parts, unusual words, reading levelLocalization and plain language. Content and engineering review.
3.3.3–3.3.6 Error suggestion / preventionError helpfulness and legal safeguards. Review with design and compliance.
AAA success criteriaOptional stretch goals. Plan explicitly if AAA is in scope; default automation targets A/AA-style coverage.
