updated draft "test suite" for ATAG2.0 work

An updated draft of my work on a "test suite" for ATAG2.0
(called "Version 1.0") may be found at:


http://xsun.sdct.itl.nist.gov/~boland/ATAG20testsuite.htm


This draft is based upon:


ATAG2.0 WD dated November 19, 2004
WCAG2.0 WD dated November 22, 2004
ISO16071:2002(E)


This draft attempts to implement the test plan (from 02 Sep 2004) listed as:


http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2004JanMar/0000.html


,supersedes the previous test files sent as:


http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2004JulSep/0125.html



, and is meant to stimulate discussion (for example, at the upcoming 
Authoring Tools
Working Group face-to-face meeting).  I have attempted to incorporate 
current testing
approaches in ATAG, WCAG, and QA testing into this draft, and to 
incorporate comments on
  previous work in this area.


This draft consists of a main page, developer and author (tester) templates for
each ATAG2.0 success criterion, and a test report site (no developer or 
tester entries yet).
Currently, the draft components are "static" HTML; however, with approval, 
I can make
this draft interactive.   I have also at least attempted to consider 
accessibility
issues in design of these components.


In doing this work, I think the following issues (at least) are open to 
discussion:


(1) level of detail of questions on templates?


(2) use/influence of ATAG2.0 techniques in test suite?


(3) use of WCAG2.0 tests by "reference" or by "value"?


(4) inclusion of questions in multiple templates (relative priority issue)?


(5) relationship of an ATAG2.0 test suite to ATAG2.0 conformance/guidelines?


Comments welcome


Thanks and best wishes
Tim Boland NIST
