To add to what Susie said: The alt tag is intended as alternative to the image - so if for some reason the image is missing or cannot be seen, the alt tag is supposed to tell you what's in the image.

 

So for example - if your image is purely structural and supplies absolutely nothing to the content - the alt tag still needs to be added to the code, but can be left empty:

 

If the image, however, adds to the content, then the alt tag is used to describe the image:

Something like that.....
