    Actual Results

    Heading structure is found to be inappropriate for following instances

    • text such as "BACKLOG", "SELECTED FOR DEVELOPMENT", "IN PROGRESS<", "DONE" is coded as <h6>
    • text such as "Details", "Date", "People", "Description" is coded as <h4>
    • text such as "Admin Admin" is coded as <h4> (that becomes available on activating "Show user information" tooltip button)
    • text such as "Release" is coded as <h1> (that becomes available on activating "Release" button)
    • which does not matches the visual hierarchy on the page. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.

    Expected Results

    Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3> and so on.

    Even though this is required at WCAG 2.1 at Level AAA, it is recommended that the discussed issue be addressed as screen reader users rely on headings heavily to understand the page structure.

     

    In this scenario, provide heading mark-up <h2> for "BACKLOG", "SELECTED FOR DEVELOPMENT", "IN PROGRESS<", "DONE", and so on.
