Matt_King: (gives a high-level introduction for Bocoup and describes what they are working on)

<zcorpan> https://test262.report/, https://wpt.fyi/

Matt_King: We wrote a couple of tests, menubar and checkbox, for our pilot.
... now we are at the point that we know how to write tests and how much work is involved.
... Sina's team is here to provide full time test authoring support

Sina: Thank you, Matt. We are interested in this work and are really excited about the potential opportunities here.

boazsender: I'm also very excited to collaborate with Sina and Prime Access Consulting

Matt_King: James has put into an issue a list of patterns that we want to test by the end of the year

<James_Scholes> https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/318

Matt_King: please provide feedback on that list

<boazsender> aria at app repo is at https://github.com/w3c/aria-at-app and is deployed to https://aria-at.w3.org, aria at test material repo is at https://github.com/w3c/aria-at-app.

Seth: the ARIA-AT app is the app for managing our tests and test plans. The app also handles the chrome around the iframe around the actual tests, such as a table of contents, saving of partial results, etc.
... It also has a report page, and we hope to eventually have parity with other automated report pages such as test262 and wpt.fyi
... The new changes are that we now have a simplified tester experience (which includes a table of contents). We now support the saving of all partial results so that no data is lost.
... In the new model, admins can now see active test runs, and they can update the test plan to a new git SHA without having to start an entirely new test plan.
... we just deployed to the staging version. After Matt reviews it, we will deploy to production.

Matt_King: We will be walking through the actual app experience soon.
... We will try to run another pilot of some kind before the end of the year, and do some usability testing so that we can incorporate any feedback before the end of the year.

Isaac: in a couple of weeks we will be doing some usability sessions

Sina: if we have any a11y feedback on the tool itself, where should we report this feedback?

Matt_King: the ARIA-AT repo

zcorpan: I'll be working on the initial prototype to automate NVDA with the ARIA-AT tests
... I'll also be working with Browser Testing and Tools Working Group and the web-platform-tests project so that down the road we can create a web driver-like framework for screen reader automation
... I just started this week, so I haven't gotten very far yet.
... if anyone on this call is working on NVDA, I'd be happy to have a chat
... if anyone is interested in collaborating on this automation, please reach out to me

<IsaacDurazo> https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/317

(skipping agendum 4)

IsaacDurazo: gives an overview of the designs in https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/317

<JoeHumbert> I have to drop, great info and updates

<Jemma> two questions

<Jemma> 1.test report - association between browser and select browser is not clear as well as remove or add function

<zcorpan> https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data

<Jemma> https://a11ysupport.io/

<Jemma> 2.feeding the testing result into BCD project can be a good consideration.
