Last reviewed: September 28, 2026
Use this article when a Scenario Editor validation needs to confirm whether a checkbox is selected or cleared.
What changed in this article
Cleaned up the title punctuation and changed it into a direct validation task.
Added guidance to validate checkbox state through the DOM/property value instead of relying only on visual appearance.
Added caution for custom checkbox controls where aria-checked, checked, class names, or hidden inputs may differ.
Validation workflow
Inspect whether the checkbox is native HTML or a custom UI control.
Validate the correct state attribute or property for checked/unchecked behavior.
Replay the step after toggling the checkbox both ways to confirm the assertion fails and passes correctly.
Review note: Added custom-control guidance because modern web apps often style checkboxes in ways that hide the real state.
