Detecting SVG imags

for

From: Birkir R. Gunnarsson

Greetings all

I am writing up an image accessibility test guide for our UAT team.
I want them to easily detect use of SVG images (we have started using
them on some domains and we are expanding the use to others).

Is there a way for them, other than looking at the source code of
images, or by detecting all HTML and CSS images first), to identify an
<svg> image?


Do any accessibility tools or bookmarklets mark SVG images
specifically or expose their alternative text (the contents of the
<title>or <desc> elements)?
For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume the <svg> tag does not
have role="img".

Thanks
-B
