Best Practices – Digital Asset Guidelines – Rev 4 www.autocare.org | www.autocarevip.com | technology@autocare.org 42 A.3 WCAG 3.0 Testing WCAG 3.0 tests and scores outcomes. Outcomes are written as testable criteria that allow testers to objectively determine if the content they are evaluating satisfies the criteria. Testing outcomes uses both views and processes to define what is being tested. Views include all content visually and programmatically available without a substantive change. Conceptually, it corresponds to the definition of a web page as used in WCAG 2.X, but is not restricted to content meeting that definition. For example, a view could be considered a "screen" in a mobile app. Processes are a sequence of steps that need to be completed in order to accomplish an activity/task from end-to-end. When testing processes, the content used to complete the process as well as all of the associated views need to be included in the test. A process is a subset of a view or a group of views. It includes only the sections of the view needed to accomplish the activity or task. Examples of a process include: • Logging into a site and being recognized as an authenticated user • Ordering an item, in which case the process includes the entire set of tasks from searching for the item, adding it to the shopping cart, paying for it, and receiving confirmation • Submitting tax information, from start to end of the process and • Interacting with other users in a virtual reality environment. A process is comprised of one or more views. WCAG 3.0 includes two types of tests: atomic tests and holistic tests. Testing the outcomes using the atomic tests might involve a combination of automated evaluation, semi-automated evaluation, and human evaluation. Although content may satisfy all outcomes using the atomic tests, the content may not always be usable by people with a wide variety of disabilities. The holistic tests address this gap by evaluating more of the user experience than atomic testing. Technology specific testing Each outcome includes methods associated with different technologies. Each method contains tests and techniques for satisfying the outcome. The outcome is written so that testers can test
