Automation Tips

  • • Skip Link Visibility: Verify skip links appear only on focus (sr-only class)
  • • Focus Management: After clicking skip link, check document.activeElement
  • • Landmark Roles: Query by ARIA landmark roles for navigation
  • • tabIndex: Skip link targets should have tabIndex="-1" to receive programmatic focus
