Screenshot

Actual Results

The images have been given descriptive alternate text such as "Icon: High", "Icon: Medium", "Icon: Blocker", and so on which was found to be unnecessary as they do not convey any additional or important information to screen reader users.

Expected Results

• Provide an empty alt attribute e.g, alt="" for all the decorative images. As screen reader treats the image with an empty alt as a decorative image.
• Remove "title" attribute from the <img> element.

Workaround

Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available
