Interactive feedback

Informational step - it never fails the test; the result is shown in the step card of the run report. Checks interactive feedback: interactive elements (links, buttons, fields) should give a visual response on hover or focus - background, color, border, shadow, underline, etc. The worker actually hovers and focuses a sample of elements and compares styles before/after; an element with a pointer cursor passes right away. The report shows how many elements were probed and which have no response (unclear whether they are clickable or focused - important for keyboard accessibility). No parameters - the current page is checked.

Usage example

Checks “Interactive feedback” - whether interactive elements give a visual response on hover and focus.

No fields required. Informational step - it never fails the test; the result is shown in the step card of the run report.

The worker actually hovers and focuses a sample of elements (links, buttons, fields) and compares getComputedStyle before/after: did the background, color, border, shadow, underline, outline, transform, etc. change. An element with a pointer cursor passes right away.

The report shows how many elements were probed and which have no response at all - a sign that a button/field looks «dead» (unclear whether it is clickable or focused from the keyboard).

Typical scenario:
