Minutes Of The Meeting
scribe: Ann Abbott
Jon: /member/wiki/Accessibility_WCAG_2.0_Validation_Rules#Goals_for_Ruleset_Version_1.0
Jon: new version of Cache Inspector published yesterday - rules for aria roles, checks values of states/properties for correct types, required children for parents that must have children, grouping
Jon: this week - aria-ownes, range widgets
Jon: next week - kbd event handlers
Kbd event handler rules
Jon: does IBM have rules for kbd event handlers?
Ann: per IBM rules for RPT: - Ensure that mouse event handlers have a corresponding keyboard handler. - A non-form or non-anchor element having an event handler must have a valid WAI-ARIA role. - Required children must have a keyboard event handler when an element containing a 'role' with required children is present and aria-activedescendant is not specified on the parent element. Changed message text so that it's more understandable: WAI-ARIA widget elements must have a onkeydown or onkeypress event handler in order to be keyboard operable. Changed rule severity from "manual check" to "potential violation". This message no longer triggers on a non-interactive role="list" element.
Meaning of Ruleset 1.0
Jon: what does it mean to be at Ruleset 1.0? What has to be in it?
Jon: consensus = at least one rule for every WCAG success criteria
Nick: first need to determine what our goals/objectives
Nick: most important is to map to WCAG 2.0 Level A and Level AA
Nick: and what are our other goals?
Nick: what do we want to accomplish with Ruleset 1.0
Manual check rules
Nick: if a coding pattern doesn't exist to support automated testing, do we want to cover every possible manual check option?
Ann: lots of WCAG testing can't be automated
Jon: should include important manual checks like audio/video
Nick: don't want to overwhelm users with manual checks that don't apply to page content
Ann: need statement that "automation is unable to test this"so manual check is required and tool must provide a report, for example: manual check necessary for image alt text that includes image
name and existing alt text.
Jon: filter exists for page level vs element level manual checks
Jon: needs to exit call due to traveling today. Next week would like to talk about a triage ruleset and how it would potentially work - like a filter for Priority level
Consensus: Continue discussion next week
