An infographic titled "Keyboard Navigation Testing Without Assistive Tools" featuring a keyboard in the center with highlighted keys used for accessibility testing. Callouts explain the purpose of each key: Esc closes dialogs, popups, and menus; Tab moves to the next interactive element; Shift + Tab moves to the previous interactive element; Enter activates buttons and links; Arrow Keys navigate menus, tabs, and components; and the Spacebar activates buttons and certain controls.
