Error prevention review

Assertion

[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.
  • 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
