Clarify test 310
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Creating new issue from point highlighted by Prashant in #10
In the third test we can add comments about testing the accessibility of book download process in case of browser based apps. Many apps do not allow side loading of files. We have been getting our file inside the app with the help of developers etc. Actually the objective of this test is to check if users can search, select and download files from the reading system if it has or is connected to online libraries. This should be clarified in the third test.
[REQUIRED]file-310
Open content: Open the test book in the Reading System.
Indicate Pass or Fail.
It looks that test File 210 also has the same issue. If the test book is sideloaded, then are we evaluating accessibility of only the sideloading process, and are leaving out accessibility evaluation of actual loading of books from publishers?
Good remark.
For example the Readium web/cloud reader can load EPUB files from the user filesystem (note that this is not a recommended usage pattern because of performance and compatibility issues, but this works well enough for small publications and as long as there is no audio/video contents, or Media Overlays).
However currently the user must drag and drop the EPUB file into the web browser window in order to sideload the publication, which is not exactly the best accessible / usable interaction.
When we look at tests in 2024, we can consider this in the light of whether we are looking at library system functionality. Then we can include sideloading, "purchasing", loaning, returning, etc.
