Goal: Verify that pipeline run status in Azure DevOps is perceivable without relying solely on color, ensuring users with low vision or using screen readers can discern status information.
Constraints: The service presents status with colored icons and tooltips, but documentation does not guarantee consistent additional text or ARIA labels across classic and new pipelines experiences; it is unclear whether non‑color cues are present in all views.
- What non‑color visual or textual cues (e.g., text labels, patterns, ARIA labels) are currently associated with each pipeline run status?
- Are ARIA labels or tooltips consistently applied to status icons in both the classic and new pipelines UI?
- Does the current implementation satisfy WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.1 (Use of Color) for pipeline status representations across all supported browsers?
