What is Keyboard Navigation Testing?
Keyboard navigation testing confirms that users can reach and operate every interactive element—links, buttons, forms, menus—using only the keyboard, with a logical focus order and visible focus indicators. It is essential for people who cannot use a mouse and a cornerstone of accessibility compliance. Automated tests can tab through a page, assert focus lands where expected, and trigger controls via keyboard events. Baking these checks into recorded flows catches accessibility regressions the instant a UI change breaks keyboard access.
