A usability tester is evaluating a government website that must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. The site has a complex data table that is not properly marked up with header cells. The developer proposes adding a text description above the table as a 'workaround' instead of fixing the table markup. The tester also finds that a video has captions but no audio description. What should the tester report?

The text description satisfies the table requirement (Level AA), and the missing audio description is a Level AA failure.

The text description does not satisfy the table header requirement (Level A), and the missing audio description is a Level A failure.

The text description satisfies the table requirement (Level A), and the missing audio description is a Level AAA failure.

The table markup issue is Level AA, and the missing audio description is Level A.

In WCAG, what is the relationship between guidelines and success criteria?

Each success criterion contains multiple guidelines

Success criteria are optional recommendations within guidelines

Guidelines and success criteria are interchangeable terms

Each guideline contains one or more testable success criteria

During usability testing of a banking website, a tester observes that a screen reader user cannot complete a multi-step loan application because a date picker widget does not announce its state changes. The widget is a custom-built component. Which WCAG principle is most directly violated, and which guideline should the tester reference?

Perceivable — Guideline 1.3 Adaptable

Understandable — Guideline 3.2 Predictable

Operable — Guideline 2.1 Keyboard Accessible

Robust — Guideline 4.1 Compatible
