The product was tested for:

  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
1.4.5 Images of Text:If the technologies being used can achieve the visual presentation, text is used to convey information rather than images of text except for the following: (Level AA)
  • Customizable:The image of text can be visually customized to the user's requirements;
  • Essential:A particular presentation of text is essential to the information being conveyed.
Note:Logotypes (text that is part of a logo or brand name) are considered essential. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • Images of text are not used
2.1.1 Keyboard:All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints. (Level A)
Note 1:This exception relates to the underlying function, not the input technique. For example, if using handwriting to enter text, the input technique (handwriting) requires path-dependent input but the underlying function (text input) does not.
Note 2:This does not forbid and should not discourage providing mouse input or other input methods in addition to keyboard operation. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • ability to perform functions from the keyboard only
  • logical movement of focus through the controls
  • proper operation of unique keystrokes, including those listed in the product documentation

Usability information: There are a few non-standard workarounds for issues that occur when we try to debug any test program:

  • The first is that, the 'Monitors' window that is opened while debugging a given test program cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. Similarly, when a variable is chosen and the Inspectors window is opened while debugging a test program, this window cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. The workaround for both these issues is to use 'Ctrl+Space' to open the context menu for the child window and select close.
  • Another issue that occurs while debugging, only when a screen reader and Java Access Bridge are enabled is that:  When we open the debugger logging window, we are not able to access the search field or the terminate button using the standard keyboard operations in this window. One workaround is to use ‘Shift+Tab’. Using ‘Shift+Tab’ twice gets us to the terminate button and ‘Space’ activates it. Using it thrice puts us in the search field. Another workaround is to use ‘Ctrl+Tab’ to set the focus in the Debugging log window, and the focus is initially on the search field. The next ‘Tab’ takes us to the Terminate button and hitting ‘Space’ terminates the debugging session. When the screen reader is not enabled, the standard keyboard operations work fine.

Exceptions:

  1. Bug 13734304: The gutter and many of its icons/indicators are presently not accessible using just the keyboard.
  2. Bug 8915761: The dialogs, arrow/toggle buttons inside JDeveloper need to be made more discoverable by adding some extra text to the accessible description.
  3. Bug 23042609: Unable to navigate to all the Heap Dump buttons in the Heap Dump console of the profiler.
  4. Bug 23042482: Unable to invoke the context menu using keyboard from the Thread Dump console of the profiler.
  5. Bug 23042447: From the snapshot window of the profiler, unable to navigate to the different snapshot buttons using the keyboard.
  6. Bug 23040062: Screen reader does not read toolbar buttons when navigating using the keyboard.
  7. Bug 23033571: Using just the keyboard, unable to navigate to any toolbar button. The workaround is to use the equivalent menu options.
  8. Bug 22956783: Keyboard navigation using up and down arrow keys does not work for the property menu list in the Property Inspector.
  9. Bug 22929508: When creating maven archetype projects using 'Generate from Archetype' option, the tree node in the table for matching archetypes cannot be expanded using keyboard.
  10. Bug 22392583: Unable to switch from the default tab in the Log view using the keyboard.

  13. Bug 21453491: It is not possible to access the project dropdown or tasks under the Task accordion in the Team view using the keyboard.
  14. Bug 22937652: Both 'Change...' & 'Finish' buttons are wired to the same mnemonic key (n) in the 'Process' page of the 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced' dialog.
  15. Bug 22937567: Both 'Property Files' and 'Finish' buttons are wired to the same mnemonic key (F) in the 'Properties' page of 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced' dialog.
  16. Bug 22956467: When a shortcut key (Alt + r) is pressed on the Global Search page, the run menu is invoked instead of selecting the Results Filter.
  17. Bug 22930397: When a profile activation rule for 'JDK Version' is added to the Project Object Model (POM) file, the 'Version Range Specification' hyperlink although focusable, cannot be opened using the keyboard.
  18. Bug 23631297: Help content is not automatically read by the screen reader until the focus is set to the area that contains the actual text.
2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap:If keyboard focus can be moved to a component of the page using a keyboard interface, then focus can be moved away from that component using only a keyboard interface, and, if it requires more than unmodified arrow or tab keys or other standard exit methods, the user is advised of the method for moving focus away. (Level A)
Note:Since any content that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a user's ability to use the whole page, all content on the Web page (whether it is used to meet other success criteria or not) must meet this success criterion. See Conformance Requirement 5: Non-Interference. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • Movement of focus through each control only using the keyboard, with no "keyboard trap" that prevents focus from moving away from any control.
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable:For each time limit that is set by the content, at least one of the following is true: (Level A)
  • Turn off:The user is allowed to turn off the time limit before encountering it; or
  • Adjust:The user is allowed to adjust the time limit before encountering it over a wide range that is at least ten times the length of the default setting; or
  • Extend:The user is warned before time expires and given at least 20 seconds to extend the time limit with a simple action (for example, "press the space bar"), and the user is allowed to extend the time limit at least ten times; or
  • Real-time Exception:The time limit is a required part of a real-time event (for example, an auction), and no alternative to the time limit is possible; or
  • Essential Exception:The time limit is essential and extending it would invalidate the activity; or
  • 20 Hour Exception:The time limit is longer than 20 hours.
Note:This success criterion helps ensure that users can complete tasks without unexpected changes in content or context that are a result of a time limit. This success criterion should be considered in conjunction with Success Criterion 3.2.1, which puts limits on changes of content or context as a result of user action. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

There is no time sensitive content included in the product.
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide:For moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating information, all of the following are true: (Level A)
  • Moving, blinking, scrolling:For any moving, blinking or scrolling information that (1) starts automatically, (2) lasts more than five seconds, and (3) is presented in parallel with other content, there is a mechanism for the user to pause, stop, or hide it unless the movement, blinking, or scrolling is part of an activity where it is essential; and
  • Auto-updating:For any auto-updating information that (1) starts automatically and (2) is presented in parallel with other content, there is a mechanism for the user to pause, stop, or hide it or to control the frequency of the update unless the auto-updating is part of an activity where it is essential.
Note 1:For requirements related to flickering or flashing content, refer to Guideline 2.3.
Note 2:Since any content that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a user's ability to use the whole page, all content on the Web page (whether it is used to meet other success criteria or not) must meet this success criterion. See Conformance Requirement 5: Non-Interference.
Note 3:Content that is updated periodically by software or that is streamed to the user agent is not required to preserve or present information that is generated or received between the initiation of the pause and resuming presentation, as this may not be technically possible, and in many situations could be misleading to do so.
Note 4:An animation that occurs as part of a preload phase or similar situation can be considered essential if interaction cannot occur during that phase for all users and if not indicating progress could confuse users or cause them to think that content was frozen or broken. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

There is no flashing or moving content included in the product.
2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold:Web pages do not contain anything that flashes more than three times in any one second period, or the flash is below the general flash and red flash thresholds. (Level A)
Note:Since any content that does not meet this success criterion can interfere with a user's ability to use the whole page, all content on the Web page (whether it is used to meet other success criteria or not) must meet this success criterion. See Conformance Requirement 5: Non-Interference. 		Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

No portion of the screen flickers or flashes with a frequency between 2 Hz and 55 Hz
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks:A mechanism is available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple Web pages. (Level A) Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

Oracle non-Web software products, including bundles and suites of software, do not behave as a set of software programs as the term is defined. Therefore this guideline does not apply.

 

2.4.2 Page Titled:Web pages have titles that describe topic or purpose. (Level A) Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • The name of the software application is meaningful.
2.4.3 Focus Order:If a Web page can be navigated sequentially and the navigation sequences affect meaning or operation, focusable components receive focus in an order that preserves meaning and operability. (Level A) Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • Logical movement through the focusable components using only the keyboard, in an order that follows a meaningful sequence, as per the Appendix A Keyboard Shortcuts, Mnemonics, and Other Keyboard Operations section of the Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines, or where appropriate the WAI-ARIA Keyboard Bindings and Behaviors, or other keyboard operation as documented in the product documentation.

Exceptions:

  1. Bug 22937769: Pressing the 'Remove' button to remove a classpath entry from 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced -> Classpath' dialog, incorrectly shifts focus to the next checkbox component - 'Include Jar Files from User Home'.
  2. Bug 22930661: In the Import Maven Projects dialog, pressing the spacebar to activate the Refresh button shifts the focus to the 'Also import source files into application' checkbox.
  3. Bug 23631297: Help content is not automatically read by the screen reader until the focus is set to the area that contains the actual text.
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context):The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general. (Level A) Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

Section 1194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems

Criteria
Supporting Features
Remarks (e.g., definition, equivalent facilitation, scope of support provided)
1194.21(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually. Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.

The product was tested for:

  • ability to perform functions from the keyboard only
  • logical movement of focus through the controls
  • proper operation of unique keystrokes, including those listed in the product documentation
  • Logical movement through the focusable components using only the keyboard, in an order that follows a meaningful sequence, as per the Appendix A Keyboard Shortcuts, Mnemonics, and Other Keyboard Operations section of the Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines, or where appropriate the WAI-ARIA Keyboard Bindings and Behaviors, or other keyboard operation as documented in the product documentation.

Usability information: There are a few non-standard workarounds for issues that occur when we try to debug any test program:

  • The first is that, the 'Monitors' window that is opened while debugging a given test program cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. Similarly, when a variable is chosen and the Inspectors window is opened while debugging a test program, this window cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. The workaround for both these issues is to use 'Ctrl+Space' to open the context menu for the child window and select close.
  • Another issue that occurs while debugging, only when a screen reader and Java Access Bridge are enabled is that:  When we open the debugger logging window, we are not able to access the search field or the terminate button using the standard keyboard operations in this window. One workaround is to use ‘Shift+Tab’. Using ‘Shift+Tab’ twice gets us to the terminate button and ‘Space’ activates it. Using it thrice puts us in the search field. Another workaround is to use ‘Ctrl+Tab’ to set the focus in the Debugging log window, and the focus is initially on the search field. The next ‘Tab’ takes us to the Terminate button and hitting ‘Space’ terminates the debugging session. When the screen reader is not enabled, the standard keyboard operations work fine.

Exceptions :

  1. Bug 13734304: The gutter and many of its icons/indicators are presently not accessible using just the keyboard.
  2. Bug 8915761: The dialogs, arrow/toggle buttons inside JDeveloper need to be made more discoverable by adding some extra text to the accessible description.
  3. Bug 23042609: Unable to navigate to all the Heap Dump buttons in the Heap Dump console of the profiler.
  4. Bug 23042482: Unable to invoke the context menu using keyboard from the Thread Dump console of the profiler.
  5. Bug 23042447: From the snapshot window of the profiler, unable to navigate to the different snapshot buttons using the keyboard.
  6. Bug 23040062: Screen reader does not read toolbar buttons when navigating using the keyboard.
  7. Bug 23033571: Using just the keyboard, unable to navigate to any toolbar button. The workaround is to use the equivalent menu options.
  8. Bug 22956783: Keyboard navigation using up and down arrow keys does not work for the property menu list in the Property Inspector.
  9. Bug 22929508: When creating maven archetype projects using 'Generate from Archetype' option, the tree node in the table for matching archetypes cannot be expanded using keyboard.

  13. Bug 21453491: It is not possible to access the project dropdown or tasks under the Task accordion in the Team view using the keyboard.
  14. Bug 22937652: Both 'Change...' & 'Finish' buttons are wired to the same mnemonic key (n) in the 'Process' page of the 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced' dialog.
  15. Bug 22937567: Both 'Property Files' and 'Finish' buttons are wired to the same mnemonic key (F) in the 'Properties' page of 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced' dialog.
  16. Bug 22956467: When a shortcut key (Alt + r) is pressed on the Global Search page, the run menu is invoked instead of selecting the Results Filter.
  17. Bug 22930397: When a profile activation rule for 'JDK Version' is added to the Project Object Model (POM) file, the 'Version Range Specification' hyperlink although focusable, cannot be opened using the keyboard.
  18. Bug 22937769: Pressing the 'Remove' button to remove a classpath entry from 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced -> Classpath' dialog, incorrectly shifts focus to the next checkbox component - 'Include Jar Files from User Home'.
  19. Bug 22930661: In the Import Maven Projects dialog, pressing 'Space' to activate the Refresh button shifts the focus to checkbox 'Also import source files into application'.
  20. Bug 23631297: Help content is not automatically read by the screen reader until the focus is set to the area that contains the actual text.
1194.21(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. Product has been developed to conform to this standard subject to the remarks on the right.
