agendum 1. "How to represent manual test steps https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/104 https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/112" taken up [from Wilco]
14:16:20 [shadi]
saz: issue is how to specify tools that support a procedure without hard-coding specific tools into the procedures
14:17:50 [shadi]
anne: tools list?
14:18:06 [shadi]
saz: doesn't currently provide this level of granularity
14:20:39 [shadi]
...years ago we were thinking of mapping tools to WCAG SCs but now we have the rules as well

14:22:08 [shadi]
wilco: is this part of the spec?
14:22:38 [shadi]
saz: not sure
14:22:41 [shadi]
anne: +1
14:22:59 [shadi]
wilco: think maybe not - more process than format
14:23:38 [shadi]
action: saz to respond to commenter about "tools support" section in test rules

14:28:04 [shadi]
wilco: should this be part of the format?
14:28:42 [shadi]
anne: specifies implementation while we agreed the need for more flexibility
14:29:03 [shadi]
...maybe specific more independently
14:35:58 [shadi]
saz: seems like the "user profile" and "context" are the essential attributes for a check
14:36:29 [shadi]
...default assumption is checks are syntax-based and require no context knowledge
14:37:08 [shadi]
...if a check requires semantic verification or context knowledge, then it may require particular input
14:37:28 [shadi]
...not necessarily user input, could also be AI or so
14:37:47 [shadi]
anne: sounds like requirements or properties for the checks
14:40:21 [Wilco]
https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act-rules/rules/ACT-R3.html
14:40:41 [shadi]
wilco: if we add properties to checks, would that be a pre-defined list?
14:44:03 [shadi]
saz: rather than "requires sight" and "requires hearing", something more independent like "requires visual verification" or such
14:44:13 [shadi]
anne: could become a long list
14:44:58 [shadi]
wilco: binary?
14:45:26 [shadi]
saz: could be multiple properties
14:45:40 [shadi]
wilco: but each binary or can there be more?
14:47:12 [Wilco]

14:47:19 [Wilco]
| User profile | Requires <sight / hearing / fine motor control / HTML Knowledge / Accessibility knowledge / ...> | context | yes | Optional | Interaction | yes | Optional
14:52:42 [shadi]
saz: interaction includes form submissions?
14:52:49 [shadi]
wilco: type of interaction
14:53:26 [shadi]
anne: would be good to be able to distinguish between tests that require scripting vs not
14:54:10 [shadi]
zakim, take up next

agendum 2. "Should we have fewer input types https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/109" taken up [from Wilco]
14:54:52 [shadi]
anne: maybe we can write-up something for group discussion
14:55:32 [shadi]
...within next two weeks
14:56:15 [shadi]
wilco: 19th october?
14:56:20 [shadi]
anne: sounds good

agendum 3. "Do we need cannot-tell results https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/69" taken up [from Wilco]
15:00:09 [shadi]
saz: have not applicable already in EARL
15:00:29 [shadi]
...but not supported by WCAG, so need to be careful
15:00:40 [shadi]
...also think need to keep cannot tell
15:00:53 [shadi]
wilco: yes, comes up fairly frequently
15:01:10 [shadi]
...maybe able to ditch, but do we want to?
15:01:16 [shadi]
anne: to be continued
