Description

Finished and error statuses are not programmatically conveyed

Screen reader does not identify the mentioned statuses hence the user would not be aware of it

Recommended Fix

The current status that is shown using the Color/Visual icon etc. should be conveyed through appropriate text and programmatically associated as well.

If the screen reader does not announce the status change in a page element, it’s difficult for users to understand it on their own. This defect mainly impacts users who are blind.
