2.5.7 Dragging Movements
Anything done by dragging can also be done with a single pointer without dragging.
Manual only No automated check says anything useful.
How it fails in practice
A Kanban board where a card only moves by dragging. A range slider with no way to set a value other than dragging the handle.
How to fix it
Add a move menu, a cut-and-place action, or a number input beside the slider.

How far an automated check gets
Nothing automatic decides this. A scanner that reports it as passing is reporting that it did not look. It stays untested until a person tests it and records what they did — which is exactly how we treat it: as untested, not as passed.
