The OAE review was supposed to take off a few weeks ago, but no one could make it to the meeting.
The official kickoff was last week to start testing.
The goal is to review the high priority functional areas. The functions may be evolving over time.
In OAE, there are no specific tools. Instead, the accessibility review will be done according to functional areas.
There is a little over a month to get the review done.
OAE Updates
Version 1.2 is about to be released.
A couple new features were added, and some changes have been made from 1.1.
Reasons For Not Yet Testing Version 1.2
Version 1.2 is still in flux. Until they have set down a release, testing won't be possible.
Tool testing results would vary from day to day.
The Server would have to be refreshed with each new update, and data would then need to be renewed.
Work done the previous day might get lost as a result.
Reasons for Conducting An Accessibility OAE Review
A review is important because there is no information available about the accessibility OAE.
Apparently one university got a report from an outside organization on whether or not OAE was accessible, but that is all the information Joe has at the moment.
A request was submitted at the end of January for an accessibility review of OAE. Brian Richwine received this request.
