Scope

  • Goals
    • Design and implementation of a hybrid manual and automated testing architecture in the aria-at.w3.org app and github.com/w3c/aria-at test suite. Improvements to the existing manual system.

    • Involve screen readers and marginalized AT users, manual testers, and others as co-designers
  • Current Priorities
    • Evolve ARIA-AT working mode and improve alignment with App publication workflow
    • Meet with test writers to develop shared priority list for test writing workstream and app workstream
    • Build a better API foundation and data model that encompasses alternate test sources and automated tests
    • Improve smart updates for evergreen tests
    • Revisit UX assumptions after new accessibility research
    • Develop rendering engine for test runner as external library (remove iFrames from App)
    • Add filtering and advanced analysis features to accessible Reports page
    • Build embeddable version of Reports page for MDN and APG
    • Upgrade App to support hybrid manual and automated test results, potentially disambiguate reviewers and runners
