Issue 162: Need volunteers for Pilot test - May 20-26

simon: pilot test update - need to write up instruction for tester

system only allows two testers for now.

if that is the concern, we can change that before the pilot test.

simon: we can have multiple test cycles if you want to

mck: I wonder where those constraints are coming from.

simon & matt: it seems that there were miscommunication

simon: I can do some set up for testing

<zcorpan> https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/162

jon: I invited Lucy Greco at UC berkely as the test.

simon: I need tester's github user name to add to the testing.

and invitee needs to accept the invitation.

Issue 159: Aria AT - Reports Home Page

issac: I had an update I would like to share.

AT and browser version can be added.

decending the result order by date would work.

this version will have independent sorting, not global one. - mainly AT version and ??

pass and fail is kind of strecth goal at this time.

https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/159#issuecomment-628103259

mck: conversation about the result - no output, in correct output, correcct output

both no support and incorrect output are "fail"

incorrect output is a bug, more problematic for users.

mf: it will be ok for now to treat those as failure.

it is related to initial design

mck: we can make this as explicit regarding the concept.

Issue 52: Create tests for APG design pattern: checkbox

mck: michael merged my changes

https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/52

mck: there is runner bug for VO

mf: we are going to ignore it for now.

mck: runner in staging is using the most recent version, simon and issac?

simon, I can ask the team.

mck: does any one has a chance to check assertions?

simon: runner has the last version.

<zcorpan> scribenick: zcorpan

Matt_King: in every case the SR can have many ways to support the same semantic
... how many of those we test is the main question

rob-fentress: (missed)

michael_fairchild: I think it's a good idea to add
... same concern when you're trying to invoke the same rendering that was tested in different ways

Matt_King: we should invite SR devs to review checkbox test plan

<Jemma> mck: we dont have a way to open the test plan from github, we open from html.

Matt_King: point them to test in GH pages, but isn't able to open the test case

<Jemma> we can use test runner but there is the complexity to do that.

Matt_King: could point to the new runner, but it's not finished
... the group of checkboxes contains an unordered list. we don't have any assertions related to the list semantics

michael_fairchild: i'm ok with preceding the way it is, we can add assertions later if needed

Matt_King: i think so
... should we always test every single a11y semantic in every pattern?
... thinking ahead for some of the patterns, I don't think it's what we want to do
... for some examples there are things to make the example more realistic
... we should test all the semantics that are listed in the design pattern that are included in the exmaple
... if there are additional elements within the example that aren't explicitly called out they're not included for assertions

michael_fairchild: the pattern description table in APG?

Matt_King: yes
... property, state, keyboard interface
... some of the listbox examples, with editable listbox, has unrelated stuff in it

michael_fairchild: fine with that

Zakim: take up item 4

Issue 54: Create tests for APG design pattern: menubar

jongund: making progress on data files
... setup scripts, focus on top level menubar
... updating setup script description
... looks like additional commands need to be added to commands list
... we want to test review commnad
... review is related to toggling checkbox
... to open the menu, need interaction command to open
... go back to review mode

Matt_King: don't necessarily need every interaction test in reading mode
... when you are in reading mode, the semantics that are present are accurately present
... people don't normally operate menubars in reading mode
... likely to encounter them in that mode though
... jaws has made it impossible to get to reading mode when you're in a menubar
... i think it's a bug
... wanted to ask them if it's intentional
... might be a feature
... if so the assertions might need to be optional
... does it make sense?
... when you have a reading mode test, instruction is (...)
... at some point, switch to reading mode

jongund: maybe eliminate test that need interaction before reading mode?

Matt_King: if you're in a menu but need to read something else on the page...
... or read the menu item itself
... might not be necessary to test

jongund: focus changes may do things

Matt_King: within the submenus, we don't do reading mode tests
... only on parent

jongund: cuts down differences between screen readers

Matt_King: process question... number of places, don't know if number of commands is correct
... should i make the changes in csv file?
... make a PR, do you have an open PR?
... or should i describe what should be changed?

jongund: describe

rob-fentress: my comments in menu... there's testing of whether the group role and group name are spoken
... using interaction mode
... in VO, group role and name aren't announced
... if you switch to what might be considered reading mode in VO
... then it does announce
... if you're not testing in that way, might miss support

Matt_King: fundamentally important for apple - they regard VO as modeless
... the commands work all the time
... NVDA has an equivalent, but is advanced
... VO ... some people only use VO commands all the time

rob-fentress: in NVDA/JAWS (missed)

Matt_King: we need VO specific assertions
... related to navigate by item
... VO test might be to ... I don't know how to word what the test would be
... navigate menu by item

rob-fentress: not using web page commands

Matt_King: right, VO commands

rob-fentress: there's sort of a mode in VO, group mode
... different results, maybe don't people don't use
... number of items in a menu
... other mode, DOM mode? doesn't seem to

Matt_King: rob-fentress are we on the same page that we need VO-specific tests

rob-fentress: there's a difference so yeah

jongund: item mode?

Matt_King: want to avoid the word item
... I can propose wording
... something along the lines of navigating the menu...
... next element
... we have sequential navigation
... with arrow keys

jongund: other sequential navigation things?

Matt_King: most of the time we don't need separate sequential navigation task
... additional task that applies to VO that doesn't apply to other SRs
... would be an additinoal test
... different from more commands to an existing task

jongund: from a user standpoint, just reading radio items

Matt_King: users navigate in different ways...
... VO commands as their first preference
... some users learn that they can also navigate using the web page commands
... because of the way VO works on the mac, and don't learn a Windows screen reader
... a lot of people use apple's native menus with VO, use VO commands

michael_fairchild: role might announce that they can use web page commands

RRSAgent: make minutes
