[Accessibility-testing] How much to ask of testers?

[Jason McIntosh]

That occurred to me too while I was writing this form and realizing how long it was getting, heh.

It makes me a little concerned about coverage, since we have so many platform combinations… but that’s IF for you.

Mark, will we receive from AbleGamers any information about what operating systems or AT setup the volunteers have, or will it be up to us to ask them once we have their email addresses? (I’m wondering if we should assign volunteers to play certain game/platform combinations in order to maximize coverage-spread, rather than just letting them pick whatever they want…)

Should we instruct testers to choose one platform per game and report on only that combination, or should we ask them to complete as many as possible, given the operating systems easily available to them?
