If content updates in a live region, what should testers do with ANDI?

• A. Refresh ANDI to detect the update
• B. Restart the browser
• C. Disable JavaScript
• D. Clear cache

Answer: (A)

When a live region updates, the testing tool needs to re-scan the page to pick up the new content. ANDI doesn’t continuously monitor every tiny change on its own in real time, so refreshing the extension forces it to re-evaluate the DOM and surface the updated information, including how the update is exposed by ARIA attributes and announcements for assistive technologies. This makes sure you see the new content and its accessibility details reflected in ANDI.

Restarting the browser, disabling JavaScript, or clearing the cache won’t trigger a re-analysis of the live-region update by ANDI, and they don’t help verify the current state of dynamic content in the way a refresh does. Refreshing ANDI is the right step to accurately detect and review updates in live regions.
