Error prevention review

assertion

Normative Text

[Title, role or organization] asserts that:

  • For each form in the conformance claim, we have reviewed the form designs to reduce the possibility of users making mistakes.

This review includes checking to make sure that we:

  • make the user enter as little information as possible,
  • clearly indicate required fields, for long numbers, divide input fields into chunks (supporting autocomplete across fields),
  • use an interface where only valid input can be selected,
  • use autocomplete and personalization of form controls,
  • use common words and metrics or units that users are likely to be familiar with,
  • automatically correct input errors when possible and reliable, and
  • provide the user with known suggestions and corrections.

Information that needs to be included publicly:

  • Title, role or organization making the assertion
  • Date of assertion (if different from the date of the conformance claim)

Recommended internal documentation (Informative):

  • Documentation of which forms were reviewed
  • Documentation of any changes made as a result of the review
  • Date of usability testing, if applicable
