Disclosure test scenarios

These test scenarios are designed to be human readable by using Gherkin syntax. Almost all of them are automated behind the scenes using JavaScript and Playwright, which you can see in the GitHub repo.

Sections: the scenarios are grouped by the same themes as the accessibility requirements in the component documentation, so each section here matches a section there.

Tags: marked by an @ symbol, tags are a way to group related tests. For example, by component name, whether it's an automated or manual test, and the WCAG level and success criterion number.

Steps: every scenario is written with the same shared set of Given, When and Then steps. See the full list of test steps for what each one does.
