Focus and Special Instructions

The purpose of this test is for publishing a prototype of Number Play in phet brand. The goal is to have the prototype published by 12 pm on Monday, 4/18.

Please try out the query parameters specified in https://github.com/phetsims/number-play/blob/1.0/js/common/NumberPlayQueryParameters.ts when testing. The only locales currently supported with secondLocale are en and es, and that query parameter only works on the all version of the sim. When included, a toggle should appear to change the language of the speech synthesis button and language of the Word accordion box.

Please also note that the memory leak in phetsims/number-play#127 has not been fixed yet, and is actively being worked on, so there's no need to do a new memory test right now.

There have been some recent changes to how the sum is counted with the papers/object, so please make the number of objects in the play area in relation to the sum readout in the "Total" accordion box a focus of this test.

Thanks!

PhET-iO features

What to Test

• Make sure that public files do not have password protection. Use a private browser for this.
• Make sure that private files do have password protection. Use a private browser for this.
• Make sure standalone sim is working properly.
• Make sure the wrapper index is working properly.
• Make sure each wrapper is working properly.
• Launch the simulation in Studio with ?stringTest=xss and make sure the sim doesn't navigate to youtube
• For newer PhET-iO wrapper indices, save the "basic example of a functional wrapper" as a .html file and open it. Make
  sure the simulation loads without crashing or throwing errors.
• Load the login wrapper just to make sure it works. Do so by adding this link from the sim deployed root:

  /wrappers/login/?wrapper=record&validationRule=validateDigits&&numberOfDigits=5&promptText=ENTER_A_5_DIGIT_NUMBER
  

  Further instructions in QA Book
• Conduct a recording test to Metacog, further instructions in the QA Book. Do this for iPadOS + Safari and one other
  random platform.
• Conduct a memory test on the stand alone sim wrapper (rc.1).
• Test one platform combination with ?phetioDebug on the Studio and State wrapper.
• If Pan/Zoom is supported, make sure that it works when set with PhET-iO State.
• Test that the sim works offline:
  • Click the link to the phet-io zip file (at top of issue) to download the zip file.
  • Unzip it to a spot locally.
  • Open index.html by double clicking it on your desktop or in a Finder-view.
  • It should look like the standalone version of the sim in PhET-iO brand.

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).

• If this sim is not in this list or up to date there, make an
  issue in website to ask if PhET research page links need updating. Please
  assign to @terracoda and @emily-phet.

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.
