These tests deal with ALT text and are part of the WCAG2 conformance test suite [10]. They are related to the HTML techniques 10.1 [1], 10.2 [2] and 10.3 [3] IMG element must have an ALT attribute.[4] ALT text should be short. [5] Important images should not have empty ALT text. [6] Decorative images should have empty ALT text. [7] ALT text should not be placeholder text. [8] ALT text must be a meaningful alternative for image. [9] Comments are appreciated.
