Each guideline has testable success criteria (61 in all).<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> The W3C's Techniques for WCAG 2.0<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> is a list of techniques that help authors meet the guidelines and success criteria. The techniques are periodically updated whereas the principles, guidelines and success criteria are stable and do not change.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> WCAG 2.0 uses the same three levels of conformance (A, AA, AAA) as WCAG 1.0, but has redefined them. The WCAG working group maintains an extensive list of web accessibility techniques and common failure cases for WCAG 2.0.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> WCAG 2.1 is backwards-compatible with WCAG 2.0, which it extends with a further 17 success criteria. WCAG 2.2 is backwards-compatible with WCAG 2.1 extending it a further nine success criteria and with WCAG 2.0 extending it a further 26 success criteria (including the 17 success criteria introduced by WCAG 2.1). Additionally, WCAG 2.2 has deprecated and removed the 4.1.1 success criterion.<a href="#cite_note-wcag-22-411-25">[25]</a> <table class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible plainlinks"> <caption>WCAG 2 Guidelines </caption> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col">Principles </th> <th scope="col">Guidelines </th> <th scope="col">Success Criteria </th> <th scope="col">Conformance Level </th> <th scope="col">Revision </th></tr> <tr> <th rowspan="29" scope="row">1: Perceivable </th> <td>1.1 Text Alternatives </td> <td>1.1.1 Non-text Content </td> <td style="background: #E2B740;
