This test case is intended to fail because the expansion of the abbreviation is not provided. This does not necessarily cause problems for speakers of German, because the abbreviation is very well known.
End user.
“Rules” refer to success criteria in WCAG 2.0, checkpoints in WCAG 1.0 and similar requirements.
The test case needs review before it can be established if it passes or fails the following success criterion: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20050630/#meaning-located. The code that causes doubt can be found at line 9, column 37.
The user cannot find the expanded forms of abbreviations and/or acronyms.
The meaning of the abbreviation PKW is very well known, so it is debatable if including the expanded form is necessary.
