    Actual Result

    The decorative image is missing an empty alt attribute. Decorative images are images that provide no information or the information is already available for it. They enhance the look and feel of a website. Screen readers provide information about all the images on the web page whether any alternate text is specified or not. Empty ‘alt’ attribute of a decorative image enables the screen reader to skip the image.

    Expected Result

    Specify empty "alt" attribute such as alt ="" or {{alt }}for the mentioned image. Making these image decorative would make sure that screen reader users do not have to go through unnecessary content.
