New tests : ARIA design patterns
Following WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices, we can create tons of selectors to test what's testable :)
eg:
[role="alertdialog"]:not([aria-label]):not([aria-labelledby]) {
}
but since it would be pretty heavy — and also kinda specialized — I think it should be a separate level file. Some new tests regarding ARIA would also move to this new level…
More examples from @Heydon's "Apps for all":
-
[role="status"]:not([aria-live="polite"]) -
[role="alert"]:not([aria-live="assertive"]) -
[aria-live="polite"]:not([role="status"]) -
[aria-live="assertive"]:not([role="alert"]) -
[role="tablist"] a:not([role="tab"]): not quite sure about this one… -
[role="tabpanel"]:not([id]) -
[role="tab"]:not([aria-controls])
I don’t see why you’d separate this from the rest—it’s a whole bunch of “if you’re doing fancy ARIA stuff, make sure you’re doing it properly” things; people that aren’t using ARIA won’t be affected. The negative impact of poorly-implemented ARIA stuff is often higher than no ARIA stuff, so I think it’s worthwhile foisting this on everyone.
Good point! And in fact we'll probably have errors, warnings and advices too, makes sense to stick to the current levels.
