In the tests of the "Link Purpose" section of Accessibility Insights for Web, there is no reference to WCAG SC 2.5.3, Label in Name.

SC 2.5.3 is referenced in the Native Widgets & Custom Widgets sections, in the Instructions subsection.

However, I'm not seeing a test for Label in Name in the "Links" section at all. These days, many websites make their links look like buttons. When a speech-input user is trying to activate a link that looks like a button, the accessible name for the link must either be equivalent to the visible text on that element or must contain the visible text on that element in its entirety. Otherwise, speech-input users who attempt to use the visible label to activate the link will be unsuccessful.

So, shouldn't a test for "Label in Name" be included in the "Links" section?

Thanks for using Accessibility Insights! You bring up a good point here. We have created a feature request in GitHub to track this as we explore it further.
