Automation of testing is an excellent idea, collaborators/allies in
that area may often found among those people who have a focus on
accessibility (a11y), the reason for this is that the alternate
input/output mechanisms introduced for the purpose of a11y are exactly
the sorts of hooks that robotic scripts need to do automated testing.
Personally, I've always viewed a11y as another form of i18n/L10n, but
there is often a small group in any project that is most passionate
about a11y issues and they are very valuable contributors indeed.
This is very interesting, I'm used to test the FR version using Orca, but
I didn't viewed it that way.
while I agree with Martin considering the spell check bug a showstopper,
Sophie, could you post again a mail regarding the procedure for QA
with Orca? It could be interesting to have a regular reminder of it, so
that Leaders could forward it to users/collaborators and maybe have more
people for testing.
Valter,
I think Sophie and I were talking about two different things. Sophie
was talking about confirming that Orca worked as a screenreader in
LibreOffice builds. I was talking about the use of a11y tools (often
Orca) as tool for performing repeated automated testing of nearly any
software package.
I am not an expert in this area, but you can find more information at
sites like this:
