17:09:20 [Zakim]
agendum 4 -- Testing - WPT or other platforms, sharing the load -- taken up [from MichaelC]
17:10:11 [MichaelC]
Chromium dumps a11y tree much like the ATTAs do
17:10:40 [MichaelC]
can create HTML file, create expectations, it will run the tests for all browsers
17:11:56 [MichaelC]
this could allow us to get rid of WPT tests, which are manual, difficult to maintain
17:12:38 [MichaelC]
proposal that new ARIA features would require not just a test, but a test file
17:12:42 [MichaelC]
using this format
17:12:55 [MichaelC]
(would document in https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/workflow)
17:13:40 [MichaelC]
would end up with a downloadable binary
17:14:47 [MichaelC]
down the road, also would like AT tests for the aria-at tests as part of the whole shebang
17:15:34 [MichaelC]
working on a webdriver-like tool for AT
17:18:37 [Jemma]
https://github.com/w3c/aria-at/issues/349#issuecomment-740687349
17:23:49 [MichaelC]
so we have tests for ARIA, ATs, and APG patterns to put together
17:25:42 [Jemma]
I suggest that we document this discussion - connecting ARIA, APG and AT via automated and integrated testing efforts.
17:28:12 [Jemma]
+1 for mapping out workflow

agendum 8 -- Moving to latest version of respec -- taken up [from MichaelC]
17:29:48 [MichaelC]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-aria-editors/2021Mar/0005.html
17:29:55 [MichaelC]
Jquery has been removed from our scripts
17:30:22 [MichaelC]
switch to respec-w3c instead of respec-w3c-common
17:30:26 [MichaelC]
requires a new event model
17:30:31 [MichaelC]
for our add-on scripts
17:31:11 [MichaelC]
respec now has a feature to ¨export¨ terms
17:31:17 [MichaelC]
so they can be ¨imported¨ in other specs
17:31:23 [MichaelC]
some terms not really used
17:33:05 [MichaelC]
should export terms from spec most suited, will involve ARIA, Core-AAM, AccName at least
17:33:20 [MichaelC]
import other terms, from other ARIA specs and other W3C specs
17:35:08 [MichaelC]
there´s a bit of a circular issue with cron jobs that will break things, but it´ll get fixed on next publication
17:35:52 [MichaelC]
there could be a period of weeks where editors´ drafts have broken references to terms
17:36:14 [MichaelC]
(ones that have been linked but no longer reference, or not yet exported)
17:37:49 [MichaelC]
impact on APG to be sorted later
17:38:39 [MichaelC]
need to figure out what specs should own big terms like ¨Assistive Technology¨
17:39:44 [MichaelC]
take to WAI-CC after we do this in ARIA
