Official methodology to test criterion 11.12

Test 1 (11.12.1)

  1. Find in the document forms which modify or delete data, or which transmit answers to a test or examination, or whose validation has financial or legal consequences.
  2. For each form, check that the user can
    • either modify or cancel data and carried out actions on this data after validation of the form;
    • or check and correct the data before validating a form in several stages; or
    • or have an explicit confirmation mechanism (for example, a checkbox or an additional step).
  3. If this is the case for each form found, the test is validated.

Test 2 (11.12.2)

  1. Find in the document the forms that modify or delete financial, legal or personal data.
  2. For each form, check that the user has
    • either a mechanism for recovering deleted or modified data;
    • or a mechanism for requesting explicit confirmation of the deletion or modification (for example, a tick box or an additional step).
  3. If this is the case for each form recovered, the test is validated.
