Official methodology to test criterion 10.1

Test 1 (10.1)

iOS and Android
  1. Connect an external keyboard (and configure keyboard navigation).
  2. Navigate through all the elements on the screen and check that the navigation sequence remains consistent. The navigation sequence does not have to follow the natural reading order (left to right and top to bottom, for example) as long as the elements are accessible in a consistent order.
  3. Identify on the screen components (buttons for example) that update content (display hidden elements, dynamic content updates for example):
    1. activate the component;
    2. after displaying the updated content, check that the tabulation remains consistent.
  4. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
