Official methodology to test criterion 5.3

Test 1 (5.3)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify all events in the screen that initiate a change of context, for example
    • dynamic updating of form fields;
    • opening a new page when a list entry is selected;
    • updating an essential part of the screen without user action;
    • automatic launch of a video player when a playlist is selected;
    • focus manipulation that changes the user's current position on the screen.
  2. Check that:
    • the user is warned by text of the type of change before it is triggered;
    • or the change of context is initiated by an explicit button or link.
  3. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
