User Testing RIAs (Google reader)

Wednesday, 07 October 2009

Hi Barry, Thanks for the feedback. The video isn't really a critique of WAI-ARIA (there is very little ARIA in the app) but more of RIA complexity. This is an important point. The context was initially to look for ARIA stuff in the app, but there was really very little. When ARIA works it is usually quite elegant. The real howler was the complexity of the app and the use of the Axsjax framework. > > Can I just ask if you (or anyone else on the list) have done any > > work on testing gmail (which, I presume, also qualifies as a rich > > text application, at least in its "standard" form) with users > > with disabilities?
