ID: F25

Technology: failures

Type: Failure

## When to Use

All technologies.

## Description

This describes a failure condition when the Web page has a title, but the title does not identify the contents or purpose of the Web page.

## Examples

Examples of text that are not titles include:

- Authoring tool default titles, such as

  - "Enter the title of your HTML document here,"
  - "Untitled Document"
  - "No Title"
  - "Untitled Page"
  - "New Page 1"
- Filenames that are not descriptive in their own right, such as "report.html" or "spk12.html"
- Empty text
- Filler or placeholder text

A site generated using templates includes the same title for each page on the site. So the title cannot be used to distinguish among the pages.

## Tests

### Procedure

1. Check whether the title of each Web page identifies the contents or purpose of the Web page .

### Expected Results

- If check #1 is false, then this failure condition applies and the content fails this Success Criterion.
