Change Log
2007/12/06 moved boundrect and child notifications to milestone 2 due to insufficient documentation 2008/02/04 VoiceOver needs text attributes for speaking documents, so moved to milestone 2. Child notifications seem not to be expected at all.
Links
Overview of the MacOS X Accessibility Infrastructure, in particular “The Mac OS X Accessibility Protocol”, “Testing for Accessibility”, “Roles and Associated Attributes”.
Open Issues
- UI elements that need special treatment: context/sub menus, combo boxes/lists, tab pages, message boxes, tooltips.
- Initial focus not always correct
- navigator window testing (drawer)
- Toolbar buttons with menus should have menu button role
- Disabled menu items get focus via tab
- Parent/Child hierarchy broken at frame level
- VoiceOver speaks (lengthy) descriptions of ToolBox buttons
