The img element has a (correct) alt attribute that conveys the same information as the image and identifies the destination of the link. (Neither the link nor the image have a title attribute.)

This test case is intended to pass because the text alternative conveys the same information as the image and identifies the destination of the link. (The accessibility of the target of the link is not part of this test case.)

The img element has an alt attribute.

This test case maps to technique H37: Using alt attributes on img elements.
