Test Matrices for WCAG 1.0 Errata and WCAG 2.0 HTML Techniques

Test Matrix Explanation

The test matrix is designed to assist us in prioritizing what we can commit to testing. Testing only a few combinations is not acceptable, and attempting to test all OS, browser, Assistive Technology combinations is impossible.

Notes:

  1. The Linux table is not complete; please send additional browsers to Jenae.
  2. The Macintosh table is not complete; please send additional browsers to Jenae.
  3. The Assistive Technology list is not complete; please send additional products to Jenae.
  4. The Priority 1, 2 and 3 are placeholders. An agenda item for the France F2F is to determine the Priorities, and define the priorities.
  5. There may be combinations that are not applicable. For example, you may never use platform a, with browser b, and assistive technology c. For these instances please let me know and I'll record a "n/a".
  6. The list does not contain specific platform or Assistive Technology versions.
