Expectation for the aria-pressed attribute: convey changes in state - applied to the button element

This expectation is applied to the button element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-pressed attribute feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to know that the state was successfully changed.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: MUST
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
