Alt text is the same as the file name

Alt text should not be the same as the filename because filenames are typically not descriptive of the image being displayed or its purpose

This check flags image files that contain alt text that is the same as the file's name.

How to set it up:

Set rule to “Flag pages that contains"
Set Search by to: XPath
Rule:

//img[@alt and @alt != '' and @src and @src != '' and (string-length(@src) > string-length(@alt)) and (@alt = substring(@src, (string-length(@src) - string-length(@alt) + 1), string-length(@src)) )]
