### Catches Missing Focus State
```typescript
await button.focus();
const focusedState = await button.evaluate(el => {
const style = window.getComputedStyle(el);
return { outline: style.outline, boxShadow: style.boxShadow };
});
// Will fail if no visual focus indicator
```
### Catches Horizontal Overflow
```typescript
const hasHorizontalScroll = await page.evaluate(() => {
return document.documentElement.scrollWidth > window.innerWidth;
});
expect(hasHorizontalScroll).toBe(false);
```
### Catches Missing Accessibility Labels
```typescript
for (let input of inputs) {
const ariaLabel = await input.getAttribute("aria-label");
const label = await input.getAttribute("id");
expect(ariaLabel || label).toBeTruthy();
}
```
### Catches Broken Navigation
```typescript
for (const route of routes) {
await page.goto(route);
expect(page.url()).toContain(route);
// Verifies routing works
}
```
