User stories often based on what developer groups are working on. 15:24:12 kathy: developer groups responsible for different parts of the page, so getting feedback back to the correct team is important to consider in the eval process 15:24:49 q+ 15:24:51 zakim, mute me 15:24:51 kathy should now be muted 15:24:53 eric: will also add this as an editor note - supporting developer teams in their work based on use cases and user stories 15:24:55 ack me 15:25:11 q? 15:25:34 agree; scripts can be a useful method for defining what to review 15:26:41 Agree 15:26:48 AmyChen: likes user stories and use cases approach. we define business processes (and then find out which development team owns specific parts), but then evaluation should be on the whole process, e.g. the whole shopping process. 15:27:44 amychen: probably don't need to make too big of a deal about supporting evaluations of parts of processes. 15:27:44 q+ 15:27:55 eric: agrees with amychen 15:28:18 amychen: could do conformance by team, but the end report needs to be about whole process 15:28:22 Tim has joined #eval 15:28:48 ack me 15:28:52 q? 15:28:53 zakim, mute me 15:28:53 AmyChen should now be muted 15:28:54 eric: we strive to document the end result of the eval, not who did what 15:29:37 +Tim_Boland 15:29:40 zakim, mute me 15:29:40 houtepen should now be muted 15:29:40 martyn: could fall into 3.8 15:30:48 tim: wants to see more harmonization with what's been written in conformance section 15:30:51 ack ag 15:31:26 s/tim/allistair 15:31:28 q- 15:31:33 I was just raising the issue because it is a frequent use case 15:31:41 ack LeonieW 15:32:32 q+ 15:32:42 leonie: good point about harmonizing with conformance from wcag. need to consider how parts of organization will deal with conformance before the whole product is put together. 15:33:26 q+ 15:33:31 q+ 15:33:32 eric: looking at procedure to express the scope, agrees with allistair 15:33:42 q? 15:34:03 zakim, ack me 15:34:04 I see Mike_Elledge, Kathy, Nethermind, agarrison on the speaker queue 15:34:08 ack mike 15:34:28 zakim, mute me 15:34:28 kathy was already muted, Kathy 15:34:35 mike: mention in doc that when starting on a project, the dev groups could decide who's doing what to make the intermediate evals easier. 15:34:37 zakim, unmute me 15:34:37 kathy should no longer be muted 15:34:43 ack kathy 15:35:33 kathy: developer groups are internal, but user stories are task-based, which are useful for establishing conformance claim evals 15:36:58 +1 agreed, many user stories are more discrete than a complete process 15:37:08 kathy: could still be under 3.4, could also fall under 3.8 because each user story/task could be evaluated separately. Could have multiple user stories for the same shopping process, various user views. 15:37:22 eric: maybe kathy could figure out where to add this idea 15:37:27 q+ 15:37:37 zakim, mute me 15:37:37 kathy should now be muted 15:37:40 ack neth 15:38:34 elle: asking about excluding specific pages from the scope, e.g., secure pages 15:38:57 eric: 3.6 15:39:26 elle: this might be misunderstood as only requiring non-secure pages for conformance reviews 15:40:26 eric: logins for intranet - this could be separate from the scope of the eval. these separations need to be clarified in this doc 15:40:50 elle: we want to make sure secure pages are clearly in scope 15:41:03 -q 15:41:41 ericvelleman has joined #eval 15:42:24 q? 15:42:52 q+ 15:43:38 allistair: scope - say someone has done all of the work to set up for the conformance evaluation, but then finds out that more parts need to be included. (referring to an email) Website owners would want to know what is minimally inside the evaluation scope. 15:44:41 q? 15:45:02 ack ag 15:46:14 q+ 15:46:31 allistair: why must they then go have a whole website evaluated? Proposes that we use the website owners conformance claim as the claim. 15:46:41 q+ What if there is no conformance claim? 15:46:53 q+ 15:46:58 I'd lbe happy to adress Alistair's point directly 15:47:14 q? 15:47:15 me too 15:47:27 ack me 15:47:34 q+ 15:48:27 amychen: allistair's point - top of document should indicate what parts are claimed for conformance, if it's not the whole site. 15:50:13 amychen: kathy's question - how to fit user stories and tasks into complete process. Example would be software for expense report, but user profile might be employee vs manager, but the product we sell is just expense reports. wants to propose that the complete process/product named in the conformance claim is written at the top, and then we could indicate the user profiles used. 15:50:50 eric: we are looking at 2 sections at the same time, but where can we express the scope of the evaluation? 15:51:25 q? 15:51:31 For clarity - my question was "should the methodology evaluate a website owners own conformance claim (so the conformance claim becomes the scope) or should we say this is what we want people to evaluate and this is the conformance claim they can then make (disregarding their own claim)" 15:51:35 ack det 15:51:40 zakim, mute me 15:51:40 AmyChen should now be muted 15:51:40 amychen: maybe separate scope from complete process. doc should then indicate whether it includes the complete process or not. 15:52:43 zakim, mute me 15:52:44 Detlev should now be muted 15:52:50 ack leonie 15:52:51 detlev: we as evaluators should make sure that we know whether the scope of the conformance refers to a few bits or the whole site. need to make sure that the important processes are included in the claim. 15:53:47 leonie: maybe we should be more clear in section 2 who is responsible for the evaluation of conformance for the overall process. 15:54:28 eric: this methodology is meant for the whole website, not just parts or specific steps 15:54:52 ack mike 15:56:12 mike: amychen had a good idea, but if we are talking about an eval done on a finished site, we need to say that very clearly. Seems like a lot of this would be important for reviewing specific parts of a site. Thirdly, we don't want to exclude people who want to evaluate parts of sites, rather than the whole site. 15:56:25 +1 15:56:42 eric: methodology would have to do very different things if it were for a full site vs unfinished parts of a site. 15:57:07 mike: would it be possible to have a doc for partial reviews? 15:57:19 the same nethodology should suppoort both partial reviews (nor conformance-oriented) and final reviews 15:57:20 q? 15:57:28 eric: will make a note of it, but it would be a completely different methodology. 15:57:50 q+ 15:58:12 -LeonieW 15:58:20 eric: will open a discussion on a few of the items, e.g., 3.4 and other parts of section 3. will also look at the proposal that allistair made. 15:58:33 q- 15:59:18 need to also address time dependencies in evaluations at some point.. 15:59:24 shadi: how development process/organization impacts the evaluation process. we are concerned with how it all comes together. 16:00:22 thank you all for this meeting! 16:00:22 bye 16:00:23 Thanks, bye 16:00:26 bye 16:00:26 -Tim_Boland 16:00:27 -Elle 16:00:28 -Mike 16:00:29 -kathy 16:00:30 Bye! 16:00:30 -shadi 16:00:31 shadi: face-to-face meetings conferences, e.g. CSUN, to see if we had enough people to have a face-to-face meeting. 16:00:31 ericvelleman has left #eval 16:00:31 Thanks, everyone! bye! 16:00:32 -Detlev 16:00:36 -ssirois 16:00:37 -AmyChen 16:00:38 LeonieW has left #eval 16:00:40 houtepen has left #eval 16:00:41 -agarrison 16:00:55 -Eric 16:00:57 -Sarah 16:01:17 sarah: end of scribing. 16:01:21 -vivienne 16:01:25 vivienne has left #eval 16:01:41 -houtepen 16:02:18 -vivienne 16:02:20 WAI_ERTWG(Eval TF)10:00AM has ended 16:02:22 Attendees were houtepen, +1.978.443.aaaa, shadi, kathy, Sarah, ssirois, Detlev, agarrison, +31.30.239.aabb, +1.502.632.aacc, Eric, +1.925.694.aadd, Mike, Elle, vivienne, AmyChen, 16:02:29 ...
