Official methodology to test criterion 9.10

Test 1 (9.10)

iOS and Android
  1. Activate the screen reader.
  2. Fill in form input fields with values that are likely to cause input errors (e.g. entering an incorrectly formed e-mail address).
  3. Validate the form.
  4. For each field in error that has a format check, check that the error message includes a real example of an input (for example, for an e-mail address, check that the pattern refers to a real address, like "[email protected]").
  5. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
