<p> | ||
As the <a href="https://aria-at.w3.org/">ARIA and Assistive Technologies Project</a> | ||
makes reports on assistive technology interoperability for APG examples available, | ||
the APG Task Force adds summaries of assistive technology support to the relevant example pages. | ||
This page explains how to interpret and use the assistive technology support summaries. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<section id="purpose"> | ||
<h2>Purpose of AT Support Tables</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
The purpose of the support tables is to provide an actionable summary of the interoperability tests performed by the <a href="http://aria-at.w3.org/">ARIA-AT project</a>.</p> | ||
</section> | ||
|
||
<section id="meaning"> | ||
<h2>Meaning of Support Levels</h2> | ||
<p> | ||
The assistive technology support tables present two percentages for each assistive technology and browser combination that have been tested: "Must-Have Behaviors" and "Should-Have Behaviors". | ||
A behavior designated as “Must-Have" is essential; if not provided, users could be blocked from using the UI element. | ||
Failure to provide a “Should-Have” behavior could impede users. | ||
Learn more about ARIA-AT’s | ||
<a href="https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/wiki/Glossary#assertion-priority">definitions of Must and Should on the project wiki</a>. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<section> | ||
<h3>Examples of Must-Have Behaviors</h3> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>Convey the name of a radio button.</li> | ||
<li>Convey the state of a checked radio button.</li> | ||
</ul> | ||
</section> | ||
|
||
<section> | ||
<h3>Examples of Should-Have Behaviors</h3> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>Convey the position of a radio button in a radio group, e.g., the button is 1 of 3.</li> | ||
<li>Convey the number of radio buttons in a radio group.</li> | ||
</ul> | ||
</section> | ||
|
||
<section> | ||
<h3>Important Constraints</h3> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>Unless otherwise noted, all testing is done using the assistive technology vendor's default configuration of an assistive technology.</li> | ||
<li> | ||
ARIA-AT interoperability tests do not prescribe exactly how to satisfy a need. | ||
For example, they do not specify exactly what a screen reader should speak. | ||
Two different screen readers may convey the same information in different ways. | ||
</li> | ||
</ul> | ||

<h2>Recommendations</h2> | ||
<section> | ||
<h3>Don’t Code to the Bugs</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
ARIA-AT is working with assistive technology vendors to increase their support levels. | ||
This means that assistive technologies that align with ARIA-AT interoperability tests will change over time. | ||
Exercise caution when implementing a pattern where support levels are less than 100%. | ||
Avoid modifying code to accommodate an assistive technology bug unless you are confident the modified code provides an experience that: | ||
</p> | ||
<ul> | ||
<li>Works equally well when using assistive technologies that do not exhibit the bug.</li> | ||
<li>Will work equally well after the assistive technology bug is fixed.</li> | ||
</ul> | ||
<p> | ||
When possible, test implementations of APG patterns with an assistive technology that provides 100% support for both must-have and should-have behaviors. | ||
</p> | ||
</section> | ||
<section> | ||
<h3>Design to Mitigate Critical Support Failures</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
Where feasible, avoid designing experiences that rely on features of APG patterns that have less than 100% support for must-have behaviors. | ||
If the must-have support level is less than 100% for one example implementation of a pattern, that does not mean every other way of implementing that pattern will present assistive technology users with the same problems. | ||
In these cases: | ||
</p> | ||
<ol> | ||
<li>If there are multiple implementation examples of the pattern, compare support levels across examples to discover whether another method of implementation provides better support.</li> | ||
<li>learn about the specific aspects of an example implementation that are not fully supported by navigating to the detailed report with the View Complete Report button.</li> | ||
<li>If possible, use the guidelines of the pattern to design interactions such that they avoid the problematic features.</li> | ||
</ol> | ||
</section> | ||
<section> | ||
<h3>Perform Your Own Tests</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
A primary purpose of ARIA-AT data is to help assistive technology vendors coordinate interoperable rendering of ARIA. | ||
While the ARIA-AT summary tables on APG example pages can be used as a guide of where to prioritize testing, the data is not as a final verdict on whether a feature in a web application will work. | ||
It is essential for all developers to test applications with multiple assistive technologies to ensure a good user experience. | ||
