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. Strategic changes to test authoring tools that help test-authors scale up output. Support for new strategic test suite development.
Success Criteria
Integrate automated tests alongside manual tests and extend tests beyond APG
Prove that our app scales as test corpus and results matrix increases in size
Unify identity across WAI, ARIA-AT, and APG
Bring ARIA-AT testing insights to web developers, browser implementers, and AT vendors
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
Upgrade App to incorporate test sources beyond APG
Add accessible UX affordances to handle increased scale of data, including pagination and search
Implement insights (progress and success) dashboard that includes relevant metrics about the ARIA-AT project
