Buttons must have discernible text
What is the problem?
The "button-name" accessibility rule ensures that buttons have clear and concise text labels.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Clear button labels help users understand the purpose of a button and what action it will perform. Without clear labels, users, especially those who rely on screen readers, may be confused or unable to use the button effectively.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, provide meaningful text for all buttons. Avoid using generic labels like "Submit" or "Click Here." Instead, use descriptive labels that accurately reflect the button's function, such as "Save Changes" or "Sign Up.
