The absence of all of these techniques predicts a failure for the status message be announced to the user. Additionally, if the role or property is not set <em>before</em> the dynamic content is added, this also predicts a failure.</p>
<p>Since additional techniques may exist to alert an assistive technology, the final step of this failure technique is confirming whether an assistive technology (such as a screen reader) detects the dynamic content and exposes the information to users. Where a status message exists but is not surfaced by assistive technology, it is confirmation that a failure has taken place.</p>
