Focus and Special Instructions
This is the first RC spot-check test for this version of Area Model Decimals that includes the addition of dynamic locales. Otherwise the logic or functions of the sim have not changed.
Any bugs that come up that can be replicated in the published version should receive an issue labelled as
deferred. They will not be fixed for this upcoming publication unless highly prohibitive or concerning.Issues to Verify
These issues can be closed after verifying.
For QA...
General features
What to Test
- Click every single button. - Test all possible forms of input. - Test all mouse/trackpad inputs. - Test all touchscreen inputs. - If there is sound, make sure it works. - Make sure you can't lose anything. - Play with the sim normally. - Try to break the sim. - Test some query parameters. (See [QA Book](https://github.com/phetsims/QA/blob/main/documentation/qa-book.md) for a list of query parameters.) - When making an issue, check to see if it was in a previously published version. - Try to include version numbers for browsers. - If there is a console available, check for errors and include them in the Problem Description. - As an RC begins and ends, check the sim repo. If there is a maintenance issue, check it and notify developers if there is a problem. - As the RC ends, notify the developer of any new QA credits that need to be added.PhET-iO features
What to Test
- Make sure that public files do not have password protection. Use a private browser for this. - Make sure that private files do have password protection. Use a private browser for this. - Make sure standalone sim is working properly. - Make sure the wrapper index is working properly. - Make sure each wrapper is working properly. - Launch the simulation in Studio with ?stringTest=xss and make sure the sim doesn't navigate to youtube - For newer PhET-iO wrapper indices, save the "basic example of a functional wrapper" as a .html file and open it. Make sure the simulation loads without crashing or throwing errors. - Load the login wrapper just to make sure it works. Do so by adding this link from the sim deployed root: ``` /wrappers/login/?wrapper=record&validationRule=validateDigits&&numberOfDigits=5&promptText=ENTER_A_5_DIGIT_NUMBER ``` Further instructions in QA Book - Conduct a recording test to Metacog, further instructions in the QA Book. Do this for iPadOS + Safari and one other random platform. - Conduct a memory test on the stand alone sim wrapper (rc.1). - Test one platform combination with `?phetioDebug=true` on the Studio and State wrapper. - If Pan/Zoom is supported, make sure that it works when set with PhET-iO State. - Test that the sim works offline: * Click the link to the phet-io zip file (at top of issue) to download the zip file. * Unzip it to a spot locally. * Open `index.html` by double clicking it on your desktop or in a Finder-view. * It should look like the standalone version of the sim in PhET-iO brand.Accessibility features
What to Test
- Specific instructions can be found above. - Make sure the accessibility (a11y) feature that is being tested doesn't negatively affect the sim in any way. Here is a list of features that may be supported in this test: - Alternative Input - Interactive Description - Sound and Sonification - Pan and Zoom - Mobile Description - Voicing - Test all possible forms of input. - Test all mouse/trackpad inputs. - Test all touchscreen inputs. - Test all keyboard navigation inputs (if applicable). - Test all forms of input with a screen reader (if applicable). - If this sim is not in [this list](https://phet.colorado.edu/en/accessibility/prototypes) or up to date there, make an issue in [website](https://github.com/phetsims/website) to ask if PhET research page links need updating. Please assign to @terracoda and @emily-phet.Screen Readers
This sim may support screen readers. If you are unfamiliar with screen readers, please ask Katie to introduce you to screen readers. If you simply need a refresher on screen readers, please consult the [QA Book](https://github.com/phetsims/QA/blob/main/documentation/qa-book.md), which should have all of the information you need as well as a link to a screen reader tutorial made by Jesse. Otherwise, look over the a11y view before opening the simulation. Once you've done that, open the simulation and make sure alerts and descriptions work as intended.Platforms and Screen Readers to Be Tested
- Windows 10 + Latest Chrome + Latest JAWS - Windows 10 + Latest Firefox + Latest NVDA - macOS + Safari + VoiceOver - iOS + Safari + VoiceOver (only if specified in testing issue)Critical Screen Reader Information
We are tracking known screen reader bugs in [here](https://github.com/phetsims/qa/blob/main/documentation/accessibility-bugs.md). If you find a screen reader bug, please check it against this list.Keyboard Navigation
This sim supports keyboard navigation. Please make sure it works as intended on all platforms by itself and with a screen reader.Magnification
This sim supports magnification with pinch and drag gestures on touch screens, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse/wheel controls. Please test magnfication and make sure it is working as intended and well with the use cases of the simulation. Due to the way screen readers handle user input, magnification is NOT expected to work while using a screen reader so there is no need to test this case.FAQs for QA Members
