Focus and Special Instructions

This sim is going to be used as a dev version for a classroom starting in April. Please thoroughly test phet brand.
phet-io is included but we have not tested it thoroughly and haven't spent time designing the tree. Please report any issues related to phet-io, but if there's a large blocking problem, don't worry about testing around it until it's fixed.

Also, please assign issues to me and @samreid.

Accessibility features

What to Test

• Specific instructions can be found above.

• Make sure the accessibility (a11y) feature that is being tested doesn't negatively affect the sim in any way. Here is a list of features that may be supported in this test:

  • Alternative Input
  • Interactive Description
  • Sound and Sonification
  • Pan and Zoom
  • Mobile Description
  • Voicing

• Test all possible forms of input.

  • Test all mouse/trackpad inputs.
  • Test all touchscreen inputs.
  • Test all keyboard navigation inputs (if applicable).
  • Test all forms of input with a screen reader (if applicable).

Screen Readers

This sim may support screen readers. If you are unfamiliar with screen readers, please ask Katie to introduce you to
screen readers. If you simply need a refresher on screen readers, please consult the
QA Book, which should have
all of the information you need as well as a link to a screen reader tutorial made by Jesse. Otherwise, look over the
a11y view before opening the simulation. Once you've done that, open the simulation and make sure alerts and
descriptions work as intended.

Platforms and Screen Readers to Be Tested

• Windows 10 + Latest Chrome + Latest JAWS
• Windows 10 + Latest Firefox + Latest NVDA
• macOS + Safari + VoiceOver
• iOS + Safari + VoiceOver (only if specified in testing issue)

Critical Screen Reader Information

We are tracking known screen reader bugs in
this Google Document. If you find a
screen reader bug, please check it against this list.

Keyboard Navigation

This sim supports keyboard navigation. Please make sure it works as intended on all platforms by itself and with a
screen reader.

Magnification

This sim supports magnification with pinch and drag gestures on touch screens, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse/wheel controls. Please test magnfication and make sure
it is working as intended and well with the use cases of the simulation. Due to the way screen readers handle user input, magnification is NOT expected to
work while using a screen reader so there is no need to test this case.
