Documentation Tests

Most of the content on this page was taken from Gnome Testing.

• Test ASCII text documentation with a screen-reader to confirm that it is clear and precise and can be read by assistive technologies.
• Test HTML applications using a web browser and screen-reader to confirm that the documentation is accessible to assistive technologies.

• If using a preset color combination, confirm it passes Color and Contrast Tests.

• Confirm the fonts adjustable using Ctrl+(-) and Ctrl+(+) when using the web-browser.
• Confirm the text resizes and remains fully readable if the font size is increased to 16pt and 24pt.

Note: There are web accessibility guidelines available at http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/.

Confirm the following information is included in the documentation:

• State if the application does not support the standard keyboard access used by the OS.
• Identify if there are unique keyboard commands.
  • Are standard shortcuts usable?
• Identify any unique accessibility features.
• If an action is documented for the mouse, make sure there is an alternative for using the keyboard.
