ARIA Example Test Results for Reference 8: XHTML Tree (Test 1)

  1. Example Being Tested: XHTML Tree
  2. Date of Test: 6 November 2007
  3. Tester's Name: Gregory J. Rosmaita
  4. Assistive Technology (version & build): JAWS 8.0.2137
  5. Browser Version & Build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007110516 Minefield/3.0a9pre
  6. Browser Plugins (such as MozzIE, FAE, etc.): Accessibar 0.7.7
  7. System Specifications:
    • Operating System (version & build/patches): Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Version 2002) Service Pack 2
    • Processor/CPU Speed: Intel Pentium 4/3.20GHz
    • RAM: 2GB

Results

  • A) the sample document would not work with JAWS' virtual cursor turned on (default setting when using a browser)
  • B) using the INSERT + Z keystroke to turn the virtual cursor off, the prefatory text was incorrectly read when a "ReadAll" command was issued; instead of reading the full first line: "How to use: keyboard works as in normal tree view. Use arrow keys to move, including left/right to collapse/expand. Double clicking" JAWS was only able to read "How to use: keyboard" no matter what screen review commands were used (note: virtual cursor disabled)
  • C) was able to access the tree widget with virtual cursor turned off; pressing "G" cycled through: "Green", "Green Beans", "Grapes" and "Guava"
  • D) nodes in the tree which are expandable were reported as either "open" or "closed" and using the LeftArrow closing the node and RightArrow exposing its subtree
  • E) it was necessary to manually turn the virtual cursor off whenever focus was removed from the page -- for example, each time i switched to a plain text editor to document the sample's behavior, it was necessary to turn the virtual cursor off using the INSERT + Z command in order to interact with the document
