Depending on what are you testing: 1- Appropiate alternatives: A - Tool finds img elements with empty alt attribute --> automatic B - Human decides whether image is purely decorative --> human 2- Layout tables: A - Tool finds table with structural elements --> automatic B - Human decides whether table is layout table --> manual If TestCriterion is one of the "A" then result is automatic If TestCriterion is one of the "B" then result is manual If TestCriterion is 1 or 2 then result is manual All depends on at what level are you going to record results.
