These are suggested operational checks to apply to your own evidence. They are not additional legal requirements or claims that the workspace automates this entire task.
Step 2
Change one quantity and inspect both the visible result and announced status.
Step 3
Remove an item and apply a valid or invalid test discount to exercise alternate states.
Step 4
Check that focus remains usable and that repeated announcements do not obscure the next action.
Worked example
A cart total changes visually after a quantity edit, but assistive technology receives no confirmation.
What the reviewer finds
- The total changes silently.
- Removing an item leaves focus on a control that no longer exists.
Resulting record
A cart state-change test with announcements and focus outcomes.
Boundary: Correct announcements do not validate pricing logic or establish overall cart accessibility.
