Analysis
Not Applicable
- The Set2 is empty
Failed
- Test1 returns false for at least one element (At least one element of the Set2 has an empty title attribute text content which is blacklisted)
- Test2 returns false for at least one element (At least one element of the Set2 has title attribute only composed of non alphanumerical characters)
- Test3 returns false for at least one element (At least one element of the Set2 has a title attribute which is blacklisted)
Pre-qualified
- In all other cases
Notes
- We assume here that the textual alternative of the area corresponds to the link text.
- A link title is regarded as not-pertinent in the following cases :
- the link title is empty
- the link only contains not alphanumerics characters
- Due to the "Note 1" of the definition of a link title, a title attribute identical to the text link is seen as suspected passed.
