Operationalize Usability Research: Create issues from zebra findings #355

Closed jaclinec closed 2 months ago

jaclinec commented 4 months ago

Create Github issues (AKA "known issues") from the latest usability testing of the zebra batch components (banner, time picker, memorable date, site alert, radio buttons, etc.)

I finished creating github issues from all of the zebra testing findings and they are provided in a table at the bottom of the Zebra test findings report: :lock:

Issue
Recommendation Github issue
Memorable date: Dropdown options containing month name and number can be confusing for screen reader users. Remove the numbers from the options and only display the month names, but still allow users to search using month name OR number. #5911
Memorable date: Dropdown search functionality doesn't meet some users' expectations. Update combo box search functionality that allows users to search by either the month name or number. #5910
Memorable date hint messaging announced to screen readers is overly described and unclear Change the hint message announced to screen readers to be relevant to each input and clear on digit requirements. #5902
Time picker: Verbose and unclear screen reader announcements make selecting and clearing a time difficult for some users. Adjust the instructions read by screen readers so that it is shorter, clearer, and more helpful. Change the ‘clear contents’ announcement to ‘clear the time selection’ or similar. #5905
Error handling: USWDS should offer more robust and comprehensive guidance for error handling. Conduct a literature review to identify error handling best practices that will inform our guidance. #2663 Related issue: #2476
Error handling: USWDS should offer component styling, previews, and/or variants that show proper error handling best practices for relevant form components. Create a storybook preview for various components using the usa-form-group--error. #5839
Site alert: Some users could miss site alerts for a variety of reasons (see details above) Add guidance that helps ensure that site alerts are implemented to be noticeable to users #2664
Radio button: Some users preferred tiled over default radio buttons Investigate use cases for tiled radio buttons vs default and update guidance accordingly #2665
Banner: Some screen reader setups may not announce the full banner Consider solutions that would guarantee the entire banner is announced by screen readers in a multitude of tech setups and in JAWS forms mode. #5926

I also added them to the testing issues tracker from both the zebra and buffalo batches.
