Hi Olaf, This refers to the specific "tests" available for each WCAG Technique -- e.g., http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/G115#G115-tests Indeed those "tests" are only how to determine if the technique is used -- they do not determine if a success criteria has been met for conformance to WCAG. Sorry for any confusion. ~Shawn On 9/4/2012 8:37 AM, Olaf Drümmer wrote: > I consider the following sentence inappropriate: > > On 4 Sep 2012, at 15:21, Shawn Henry wrote: > >> Web content could even fail a particular technique test, > > especially in an email that tries to state that techniques are no basis for determining conformance... > > Techniques are just that - techniques. One could also call them useful tools, methods, cool ideas, helpful tricks, ... but it is not suitable to call them tests. > > > Olaf Drümmer > >
