Make the observation reproducible
- Setup
- Device, operating system, browser, input method and assistive technology.
- Task
- Starting point, action and expected outcome in plain language.
- Result
- Pass, barrier observed or not checked — never a guessed score.
- Limit
- A colored outline alone is not enough if focus jumps behind a panel or returns to the top after every action.
