Application Help
- Application Help will be stored primarily in Hermes now (kb.mit.edu)
- When linking to help in Hermes use the Short link, e.g. http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/2gTn not the Full link
- This is to protect against the article / title changing in the future which affects the Full link but not the Short link.
- Launch application help window a smaller, less overwhelming window (50% sized) with no ‘chrome’ (no navigation menu, no status bar at bottom).
- Mark Prudden to provide WDA specific settings
- For now, point to Production Hermes help file URLs.
- Mike Berger will check with Allison re: release process for Hermes content, viability of pointing to non-Prod content (esp for new apps)
Unit Testing Procedures
- A copy of JAWS screen reader software is being installed in the W92 QA test lab for use by WDA developers. This will allow basic unit testing of individual WDA components and screens. It is not a replacement for full Accessibility testing by the IS&T Accessibility team.
