3. Test files [from Michael]
16:10:47 [Michael]
zakim, take up agendum 3
16:10:47 [Zakim]
agendum 3. "Test files" taken up [from Michael]
16:14:52 [wendy]
mc: by t.p. will have had 2 internal drafts and prepping for public.
16:17:28 [wendy]
wac: new things (goals) for next public drafts - test files and checklists.
16:17:58 [wendy]
ag: is there a format/wording style for test files? then, if people want to write tests, they could write tests for you.
16:18:15 [wendy]
cr: there is a schema. could write a doc that summarizes the format.
16:19:29 [wendy]
wac: we could set up a submission form for test files, similar to the one that we have for techniqeus.
16:19:39 [wendy]
ag: concern about wording of testable statements.
16:21:20 [wendy]
ag: if had applicability condition, then could go through list and easily check if something is applicable or not and get a list of what is applicable or not.
16:21:42 [wendy]
ag: e.g., going through general techniques, "does the pg contain a non-text element" using keywords that have been pulled out.
16:22:02 [wendy]
ag: this is a basis behind a checklist.
16:22:22 [wendy]
ag: then use techniques and test suites that are applicable.
16:22:56 [Zakim]
-Don_Evans
16:23:07 [wendy]
ag: a paragraph in the techniques, "it is applicable in this condition"
16:23:40 [wendy]
mc: test files, checklists - high priorities. general techs, script, css, and html techs. coord with other groups.
16:24:04 [wendy]
zakim, take up item 3
16:24:04 [Zakim]
agendum 3. "Test files" taken up [from Michael]
16:24:26 [wendy]
mc: how we're going to vote on test files.
16:25:08 [wendy]
ag: each test should collectively support eh technique, not the SC.
16:25:26 [wendy]
cr: each test is mapped to a SC.
16:26:28 [wendy]
ag: looking at the mapping you want to achieve (the "end-to-end"). looking that each level supports the level above in terms of testability.
16:26:57 [wendy]
ag: if there was a tech for data tables, and collectively answered whether that techniue had been implemented. want to ensure that each test does 100% of what it is intended to do.
16:27:11 [wendy]
wac: how determine if 100% or not.
16:27:28 [wendy]
ag: need a good idea of what technique is trying to achieve. map test to the testable statements.
16:27:45 [wendy]
cr: tests may not cover every SC. some tests may not apply to every technology.
16:27:57 [wendy]
cr: don't think we can say that we will fulfill 100% of each SC for every technology.
16:28:10 [wendy]
ag: but should be able to split each technique into a variety of testable statements.
16:28:33 [wendy]
ag: may not be able to solve automatically, some may need human
16:28:44 [wendy]
cr: many of the tests are fitting into how people are evaluating content now.
16:28:52 [wendy]
cr: did not systematically work our way down.
16:29:00 [wendy]
ag: will need to make changes to test suite to meet in the middle.
16:29:06 [wendy]
ag: will need to define each stage carefully.
16:29:16 [wendy]
ag: have to do it from the top down since the SC have been written.
16:29:27 [wendy]
cr: there may be SC that don't have techniques or test files.
16:29:33 [wendy]
ag:not yet, but they will have to exist.
16:29:38 [wendy]
cr: yes, but not for every technology.
16:29:45 [wendy]
bc: we've talked about covering that issue with the checklist.
16:29:59 [wendy]
bc: even if no technique for a technology, the chekclist will include a notation about that.
16:30:16 [wendy]
cr: think that css might not have alt-text.
16:30:24 [wendy]
bc: right. so a css-checklist couldn't meet the guidelines.
16:30:45 [wendy]
bc: if a technology is incapable of meeting a technology, then can't make a wcag 2.0 conformance claim.
16:30:50 [wendy]
bc: the checklist should say that.
16:31:41 [wendy]
ag: you've got to write techniues for each technology that support a SC
16:32:45 [wendy]
cr: it might map to a SC and SC are mapped to a level, but the level of tecnique and test may not match what in guidelines.
16:32:56 [wendy]
q+ to say, "specgl examples"
16:33:27 [Michael]
ack wendy
16:33:27 [Zakim]
wendy, you wanted to say, "specgl examples"
16:36:22 [wendy]
bc: have already dont that. have said that some techs are optional.
16:36:44 [wendy]
ag: saying "best practice" would confuse people. people only want to see what they have to do, not what would be nice to do.
16:36:53 [wendy]
ack john
16:37:44 [wendy]
js: thought we had discussed and agreed that the techs would focus on techs that are necessary and sufficient for conformance, or jsut test files?
16:38:06 [wendy]
js: think there is slippage between what levels mean in WCAG 2.0 and priorities in WCAG 1.0.
16:38:30 [wendy]
js: a level 3 criterion is not something that is less important, it is something that may not apply across all web content.
16:39:23 [wendy]
q+ to say, "next sorting - into optional techniques, clearly label. then mark test files as such as well. will need for the checklist."
16:39:38 [wendy]
