a11y testing needs to be done with respect to different user groups with different needs. The Gnome project has a [http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/sanity-testing/a11y_sanity_suite.html Sanity Testing for GNOME Accessibility] page defines some useful Generic User Descriptions (GUDs). We have adopted these descriptions for our general a11y testing. In addition we will also test some of the specific assistive technology applications in more detail.

General Testing

The [http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/sanity-testing/a11y_sanity_suite.html GNOME accessibility testing page] contains 38 test cases which we will use as inspiration for our general tests. However we will settle for a smaller number of tests and some will be more application-specific, focusing on the key applications in Ubuntu like Firefox, Evolution and OpenOffice.org.

The following is a matrix of tests results. More details about each test, comments and bug numbers can be found by clicking on the test name.
