Keyboard-Only Navigation Test Script and Audit
Walk a page with a keyboard and record every barrier.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Audit one page for keyboard access. Page description or markup, including menus, dialogs and widgets: [PAGE_DESCRIPTION]. The main task a visitor must complete: [MAIN_TASK]. Browser and device I will test with: [TEST_SETUP]. Write a test script I can follow with the Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, arrow and Escape keys, with the expected result at each step. Then judge the page from the description: focus order, visible focus, skip links, traps in dialogs, menus that need a mouse, and controls that are not reachable. Say which risks need real testing. Return a table with Step, Expected, What to record and Severity (red, amber, green), a score from 1 to 10 for operability, and a fix list ordered by user impact. Add a short section for testing with browser zoom and a narrow window, because keyboard users often use both. Suggest how to record a failure so that a developer can reproduce it, including the key presses and the element that had focus.
