3.3.7 Redundant Entry
Manual verification
How to validate 3.3.7 by hand
Check whether information already entered by the user must be entered again within the same process.
Start with the extension result
Reopen the reported URL and reproduce the same state (for example, after expanding a menu or submitting a form). Use the result’s Highlight action when available, or its affected-element details and CSS selector, to find the reported content. Apply the checks below to that content and its context. If the element or state has changed, rescan and record that difference before deciding whether the finding still applies.
- Complete a multi-step process and note information entered on earlier steps.
- Navigate forward/back or through later stages and check whether the same information is requested again.
- Verify whether the value is auto-populated or selectable from the earlier entry, unless re-entry is essential or needed for security.
Evidence to record
Record the process steps, repeated field/value, and whether it is copied, selectable, or subject to an exception.
Scope and exceptions
This criterion applies within the same process. Re-entry may be essential or necessary for security; an earlier value may also no longer be valid.
Record the review outcome
- Confirmed: the recorded evidence shows the requirement is not met in the tested page state, and no applicable exception explains it.
- Not reproduced: the reported issue is absent in the current state. Record the URL, state, and affected element you checked; this does not prove other pages or states conform.
- Needs more review: evidence is incomplete, the content requires human judgment, or an exception is uncertain. Record what remains to be checked instead of treating it as a pass.
