No Unnecessary Time Limits
Avoid using time limits for tasks and interactions, unless required for non-interactive media or real-time events.
Acceptance Criteria
• No time limits are imposed for tasks or interactions, except for synchronized media (e.g., video) or real-time events.
Examples
• An online quiz where time does not affect the score.
• A turn-based game that does not require real-time play.
Exceptions
• Time limits are allowed for synchronized media (e.g., video) and real-time events (e.g., live auctions).
Tips
• Avoid unnecessary time constraints to ensure accessibility for all users.
• Provide clear information if timing is an essential part of the content.
How to test?
1. Check Time Limits: Verify that time limits are not imposed on interactive content unless required for synchronized media or real-time events.
2. Test Flexibility: Confirm that users can complete tasks without time pressure unless explicitly necessary for the content.
