### Missing ALT Attributes

## SVG
### SVG Accessible Name
* Checks all SVG elements in the document for the presence of accessible names. It categorizes SVGs based on certain criteria such as, the svg has a role of 'img' but is missing an accessible name, if it is following best practices for a meaningful SVG, and if it is missing 'aria-hidden' or 'role img', or an accessible name. For each case, a message is generated explaining the status of the SVG.
### Decorative SVG
* Checks all SVG elements in a document to identify which ones are decorative. Decorative SVGs are marked with 'aria-hidden true'. If the SVG has an accessible name, a message will be created that shows it's marked as decorative but has an accessible name.
