Error recovery

What happens when someone gets it wrong.

How it is scored

0 to 20

no inline validation, errors dump the visitor back to an empty form, dead ends with no route forward.

40 to 60

errors are reported but the copy is generic and some state is lost.

80 to 100

inline validation, specific recovery copy, and entered state is preserved.

What the scanner checks

  • Whether form inputs carry validation rules a browser can enforce
  • Whether inline error containers exist for messages to appear in
  • Whether the page offers a route forward when something goes wrong
