Goal

  • Give users control over all of the information that they provide.
  • Simplify the correction of mistakes made by users.
  • Allow users to edit the information they want to change.
  • Prevent the user from leaving the form before it is submitted.

Implementation

Store all data entered in session variables so that they can be displayed again as they were entered in the fields.

Make it possible to modify fields after data has been rejected.

Control

For each form audited

  • Force data rejection by entering the various possible errors: no input in a field, non-compliance with a requested or predictable format (format of email address, date, etc.), case sensitivity;
  • Then, check that the form is displayed again as it was filled, so that it can be corrected if necessary.
