Impact Module: Check Accessibility goals & edge cases
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Description

This should be one of the final tasks completed for the new Impact Module. It is basically a reminder for us to meet our Accessibility goals and check a few other edge bases.

Acceptance Criteria

Accessibility Goals:

  • All Positive Reinforcement features pass Chrome Lighthouse and QA Accessibility scan
  • All features we work on for Positive Reinforcement are navigable by keyboard
  • Impact Module graphs have alt text that conveys the basic meaning of the chart

Edge cases:

  • If a thumbnail doesn't load, (certain SVGs are not being rendered properly as thumbnails) then we instead show the standard placeholder thumbnail image. Example:

Status update: the acceptance criteria are still not met, I'm doing rounds of cleaning up a lot of warnings that we have due to missing labels (labels that we know we want for accessibility reasons but we haven't think of a copy yet). I'm hoping that the remaining "missing required label" warnings serve us to quickly update the copy book before T322890: Positive Reinforcement: Impact module - finalize copy and QQQ descriptions for TranslateWiki.net is done. The Safari keyboard issues still need to be investigated.

kostajh triaged this task as High priority.Nov 24 2022, 7:55 PM

The module is passing all lighthouse audits. Firefox's accessibility report is failing for the same issue repeatedly, SVG graphics that are not focusable (they don't have any user interaction associated, eg: pencil icon, thanks icon, clock icon). The error is also triggered in Codex docs for the icon component so I'm not sure yet on which side it is to fix, I have asked the question in T311026#8423117

The error appears on the following icons:

  1. The score card icons (pencil, smile, clock, chart) ( 4 errors ).
  2. The info icons on the Thanks and Streak score cards ( 2 errors ).
  3. The clock icon ( as many as articles on that state )
  4. The icon shown in the image thumbnail on its empty state ( as many as articles on that state )

I think we should wait DST's directions on how to proceed. I will file a separated task once we clarify in which side should be fixed.

Bringing over another accessibility issue noticed by @RHo

Hi again, @kostajh or @Sgs - this is maybe minor regression but I've noticed that the new impact module's clock icon has the message in a browser tooltip on hover, and is not keyboard accessible. It should appear and behave in the same way as before, which is a pop-over info text that is shown either on hover or via keyboard select:

Expected:

Actual:
image.png (172×706 px, 34 KB)

Should I file a ticket or can it be resolved as part of this task?

Hmm, agreed that it is changed behavior from the old impact module. From an accessibility standpoint, I wonder if the behavior in the new impact module (the title attribute on the icon) is better, since it doesn't require the non-sighted user to tab into an interface to read the message?

I think it may be worse since it is skipped entirely in keyboard navigation, so think it makes sense to go back to the original interaction.
