Start with one real case for HTML semantics. Record the start and the goal.
Technology should stay stable and easy to check. Test each change again after release.

HTML semantics: How to audit and assess it
This guide covers HTML semantics. Use one real case and keep the next step clear.
What matters in practice
Key rule: Mark up landmarks, headings, links, lists and forms according to their actual meaning.
Use the same short list each time. This keeps the check easy to review.
A reliable way to work
Set one question before the test. Decide what result should count.
Name one owner. Record the current state.
Change one point only. Then check the result.
If money, customers or public claims are involved, add a human review.
Check the result again later. Keep only what helps the goal.
Set the goal
- Use one real case.
- Record the current state.
- Name the person who owns the task.
- Keep the first test small.
Check the starting point
- Write down open points.
- Keep the source easy to find.
- Mark unclear data before the change.
- Check one risk at a time.
Change one point
- Let a person review important claims.
- Keep the test easy to repeat.
- Use the same measure as before.
- Record the result right away.
Secure the result
- Share the result with the right person.
- Keep open points visible.
- End the test when the goal is met.
- Use the result in the next decision.
Practical checklist
- Write the goal in one sentence.
- Record the start and one real case.
- Check the key rule.
- Name the owner and approval point.
- Set one measure and one date.
Common mistakes
- Starting without a clear goal.
- Changing several points at once.
- Using a result without a final check.
Concrete example
Example: An SME tests HTML semantics with one real case. The team records the start, changes one point and checks the result. Then it plans the next step.
