15.4 For each real-time text communication functionality, can the messages be identified (excluding special cases)?

Official methodology to test criterion 15.4

Test 1 (15.4)

iOS and Android
  1. Activate the application and the application's RTT functionality on two terminals and connect them to the same session.
  2. Send a text message from both terminals to obtain messages with different statuses (sent and received) and with different authors.
  3. Check that
    • sent and received messages are visually separated (for example, sent messages are in one window and received messages in another, or there is a line break between each received and sent message if they are presented in the same window);
    • it is visually possible to distinguish between messages sent and messages received. For example, by a layout or colour that differentiates them or by a visible text annotation (look for the words "Sent" near a sent message or "Received" near a received message);
    • information about the nature of the message (received or sent) is accessible to assistive technologies (text information is available to provide this information);
    • the authors of text messages are identified (for example, the presence of a name or identifier preceding the message).
  4. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
