By using WAVE and comprehensive keyboard testing only, I think the
following are the only Level A/AA success criteria for which conformance
can be verified:
- 2.1.1 - Keyboard
- 2.1.2 - No Keyboard Trap
- 2.1.4 - Character Key Shortcuts
- 2.4.3 - Focus Order
- 2.4.7 - Focus Visible
- 3.2.1 - On Focus
- 3.2.2 - On Input

That leaves 43 (if my count is correct) success criteria that could not be
verified using these techniques alone. WAVE and keyboard testing may
certainly reveal failures with many other success criteria, but could not
alone be used to verify conformance with the vast majority of WCAG 2.1.
