Por ejemplo, para SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content (A) indica:

Automation can:

Detect presence or absence of alt attributes.

Identify empty/missing alt on <img> elements.

Automation cannot:

Confirm whether the alt conveys the image’s purpose.

Validate completeness of alternatives for complex content (e.g., charts).

Y para SC 2.4.3 Focus Order (A):

Testability: ⚠️ Partial

Automation can:

Read the DOM/tab order.
