[Accessibility-testing] August 13 meeting notes

[Jason McIntosh]

Present: Austin, Claire, Deborah, Jmac, Mark, Zack, Zarf

• We discussed the tester-notes document that Zarf made for “A Night Beneath the Opera”. Generally agreement that they’re on-point, and that they’d be improved further by breaking it into two documents: one for the tester to read in full before play, and another that is just a walkthrough.

I have added a copy of the notes to our resource webpage (http://jmac.org/misc/a11y-resources.html).

We should all give “Opera” one last play-through over the coming week, posting any critique to the list.

• Claire plans to complete the “Twine of Access” draft presently.

• We discussed the test-results mockup I shared last week (). We agreed (I report with all due humility) that it looks like a good presentation device for the “nitty-gritty” part of the report, but full report should lead in with a friendly prose summary that will put all this data into context.

Claire pointed out a tool for Chrome called “Lighthouse” that helps one choose nicely contrasting colors for stuff like this.

Mark suggests representing the tests-passed/total-test-count numbers as nice, normalized percentages rather than ratios.

And that’s that!

According to our schedule, our next meeting date, and group deadline, is this: (Aug 27) Complete internal testing and critique of the two games. Revise the testing matrix based on prior discussion, as well as its internal application to the test games.
