Actual Results
The "Close" button does not have a programmatically defined accessible name.
As a result, users of assistive technologies will not be able to understand the purpose or the functionality associated with the button.
Expected Results
Interactive elements must have programmatically defined accessible names so that their functionality is communicated to assistive technology users. In this scenario, use the aria-label attribute to provide an accessible name to the button. Make sure that the accessible name signposts the purpose or the functionality associated with the button.
