- Need Dean and Joe to re-run VoiceOver tests 1 and 3 due to correction of VoiceOver vo-left/right commands.
- In December, the 'j and shift+j commands were not getting rendered for tests 1 through 4. That was an app issue, not a test plan issue. It has been resolved.

### Running quantity spin button plan

- Current version: [Quantity Spin Button Example Test Plan V25.12.16](https://aria-at.w3.org/test-review/163676)
- VO results: Waiting on Dean and Murray.
- JAWS and NVDA: Bot is failing; working on resolution path.

### Update on test plan for switch using checkbox

- Was previously blocked by app issues related to resolution of conflicting results.
- App Issues are now resolved.
- All testing is complete.
- Before advancing to candidate, need to resolve one issue
- [Test Plan Feedback: Remove Enter from VO commands for "Operate a switch", tests 7 and 8 in "Switch Example Using HTML Checkbox Input V25.10.06" · Issue #1361 · w3c/aria-at](https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/1361)

### Auto-update report reviews

- No action needed this week; Matt reviewing and finalizing reports.
- Joe has validated 10 of 13 JAWS runs

### Request for change to alert test plan

[VoiceOver for macOS Changes Requested: "Trigger an alert" (Alert Example, Test 1, V24.04.26) for Candidate Report · Issue #1316 · w3c/aria-at](https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/1316)

### Grid plan assertion priority questions

**Note:** May need to save for later (PR previews are not working)

- [PR 1353: Refactor Test Plan for the Minimal Data Grid Example v2 by IsaDC](https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/pull/1353)
- When arrowing backward into a grid, ... 
  - Should we assertname/role or just boundary?
  - What would priority be?
  - What about row and column number?
