Accessibility (a11y) RC Test

What to Test

• Specific instructions can be found below.
• Make sure the a11y feature doesn't negatively affect the sim in any way.
• 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).

Link(s)

• a11y View
• Simulation
• Test Matrix

Screen Readers

This sim supports 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.

Final Requests

• If this sim is in this list, make an issue in website to ask if PhET research page links need updating. Please assign to @terracoda and @emily-phet.

Memory test results look good

phetsims/resistance-in-a-wire#177 Occurs quite obviously when describing the mass spinners.

[KatieWoe]

QA is done

[zepumph]

Thanks @KatieWoe! Closing

It looks like the issue is a bit different. The min value of the slider is 1000000000 and JAWS reports this as "1 zero zero zero zero zero zero zero ..." instead of reading "1 billion". Does this require further investigation?

[terracoda]

@zepumph, is it possible to use 1 and 10 for the min and max values for the mass sliders instead of "1 000 000 000" and "10 000 000 000"?

Would that mess things up?

[terracoda]

I'll open an issue in GFLB repo and link back to this issue.

[terracoda]

I'll close this as we will investigate further in phetsims/gravity-force-lab-basics#181
