Manual Test Rules Updates

Hi Everyone,

Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know that might be
interested in contributing!

So I made a start on creating a template we can use for writing any rules
we know are not covered: Manual Rule Template with instructions
<https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/blob/develop/pages/design/manual-template-empty.md>.
The instructions are to help us all, and to remember that no matter our
technical abilities, the group can help!

For instance I made a start on a new rule: Focus Returns to Trigger
<https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/2022> and Dan has
been great in helping me, by starting to write the examples that I listed
but cannot write. I do have some pointers from Jean-Yves as the rule is a
new type to what we currently have as not a fixed state rule... I will be
updating and reviewing the text used.

Also a big shout out to Giacomo for his manual test rule: Error field is
not identified using color differences only
<https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1914>!

We made a start and would love reviews/help, or new rules that are missing
from All ACT Rules <https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/rules/>
.

Success Criterion (A and AA) that have no current tests are (I may be wrong
so feel free to correct me):

   - 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (AA)
   - 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts (A)
   - 2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold (A)
   - 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures (A)
   - 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation (AA)
   - 3.2.4 Consistent Identification (AA)
   - 3.3.3 Error Suggestion (AA)
   - 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) (AA)
   - 4.1.3 Status Messages (AA)

And the AAA ones that might be covered as secondary checkpoints but have no
rule just for them:

   - 1.2.6 Sign Language (Prerecorded) (AAA)
   - 1.2.7 Extended Audio Description  (Prerecorded) (AAA)
   - 1.2.8 Media Alternative (Prerecorded) (AAA)
   - 1.2.9 Audio-only (Live) (AAA)
   - 1.3.6 Identify Purpose (AAA)
   - 1.4.7 Low or No Background Audio (AAA)
   - 1.4.9 Images of Text (No Exception) (AAA)
   - 2.1.3 Keyboard (No Exception) (AAA)
   - 2.2.3 No Timing (AAA)
   - 2.2.4 Interruptions (AAA)
   - 2.2.5 Re-authenticating (AAA)
   - 2.2.6 Timeouts (AAA)
   - 2.3.2 Three Flashes (AAA)
   - 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions (AAA)
   - 2.4.10 Section Headings (AAA)
   - 2.4.8 Location (AAA)
   - 2.5.5 Target Size (AAA)
   - 2.5.6 Concurrent Input Mechanisms (AAA)
   - 3.1.3 Unusual Words (AAA)
   - 3.1.4 Abbreviations (AAA)
   - 3.1.5 Reading Level (AAA)
   - 3.1.6 Pronunciation (AAA)
   -
   - 3.2.5 Change on Request (AAA)
   - 3.3.5 Help (AAA)
   - 3.3.6 Error Prevention (All) (AAA)

However, some success criteria have automated tests but might be missing a
test that needs to be checked manually.

Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas or want to run through any
points. When we get enough people authoring manual test rules, we will
start a separate call to go through updates or points of contention (my
biggest is where to start!) We have a lot to cover, and do not worry. I did
make a start and created a rule that duplicated another. It was pointed
out, and the joy of GitHub was I could remove it and no harm done.

Regards,
Helen
