Question: True or false? Automated testing is sufficient to test for appropriate use of alternative text.
- True
- False
Explanation
Automated checks can detect whether an image has an alt attribute, but they cannot determine whether the alt text accurately communicates the image’s meaning or function. HubSpot states that automated accessibility tests only scratch the surface because they cannot truly experience the page the way a human can. HubSpot also distinguishes between meaningful images, which need text alternatives, and purely presentational images, which should use null alt text. Deciding whether text is appropriate, sufficient, or unnecessary requires human judgment, so automated testing alone is not enough. HubSpot Developers
Why the other options are incorrect
A) True is incorrect because an automated result cannot confirm that alt text is contextually correct or that the image was classified properly as informative or decorative. HubSpot Developers
