Official methodology to test criterion 13.10

Test 1 (13.10.1)

  1. Find in the document the features that can be used or made available by means of a multi-point touch interaction.
  2. For each function, check that it is still available using touch interaction at a single point on the screen (for example, the ability to consult the items in a list using a horizontal right or left swipe should also be available using the "previous" and "next" buttons, or a pinch and zoom gesture that can be performed alternately using the "plus" and "minus" buttons).
  3. If this is the case for each function that can be used or is available by means of multi-touch interactions, the test is validated.

Test 2 (13.10.2)

  1. Find in the document the features that are usable or available by means of a touch interaction that involves following a particular path on the screen.
  2. For each feature, check that it is still available by means of touch-type interaction at a single point on the screen (for example, the ability to enter a password by following a path on a virtual keyboard should also be available by means of successive presses on the keyboard keys).
  3. If this is the case for each functionality that can be used or is available by means of touch interaction that involves following a particular path on the screen, the test is validated.
