Testing Decorative Images

Testing accessibility of decorative images will entail checking if all decorative images are incorporated using CSS techniques, or have null (alt="") text equivalents. Thus testing is done through hiding images incorporated with CSS background property and in-line HTML coding, examining how images are incorporated. Checking text equivalents of images is also helpful in checking null text equivalents.
