    Actual Results

    Decorative images have been given descriptive alternate text such as "InstEnv" and "test" which was found to be unnecessary as they do not convey any additional or important information to screen reader users.

    Expected Results

    Provide empty alt attribute i.e., alt="" for all the decorative images.

    Code Snippet

    <img alt="" src="/projects/IE/avatar.png?s=48&amp;v=1691721234757" aria-describedby="aui-tooltip">
