ARIA treeitem nodes should have an accessible name

aria-treeitem-name

Ensure every ARIA treeitem node has an accessible name

This is advice, not conformance

No WCAG success criterion requires this check, so failing it does not fail an audit. It still catches real problems, which is why we surface it — separately, so your compliance score stays honest.

How it is reported

A11ySignal reports this at serious impact. Every failing element comes with its CSS selector and the markup that failed, so you can go straight to the line rather than hunting for it. Deque publishes the engine-level detail:
