Test Case Instruction

Test Instruction	Instruction Detail	Expected Test Case Result
IC-1	Visually apparent headings, which denote sections of content. Headings are often in a larger, bolded font separated from paragraphs by extra spacing (though not always). Note the hierarchy and structure of each heading with respect to other headings on the page.	Multiple visual headings found.
13.2-1	Check that all visual headings are programmatically determinable and that programmatic heading levels logically match the visual heading presentation within the heading structure [SC 1.3.1].
13.2-1.a	The most important heading(s) should have the highest priority level. For example, `<h1>` is a higher level than `<h2>`, which is higher than `<h3>`.	Pass: The visual `<h1>` heading is higher than the visual `<h2>` heading, which is higher than the `<h3>` headings.
13.2-1.b	Headings with an equal or higher level start a new section; headings with a lower level start new subsections that are part of the higher leveled section.	Pass: the visual hierarchy of the headings is correct
13.2-1.c	HTML or ARIA programmatically identify each heading. When both are used, heading levels must match. H42: each heading is marked with `<h1>` to `<h6>`. ARIA12: each heading is marked with `role="heading"` and `aria-level="#"`. The default heading level is “2” when none is specified.	Pass: all headings are programmatically identified by HTML `<h#>`.
Result	If the above check fails, then Baseline Test 13.2-VisHeadingProg fails.	PASS
