Focus and Special Instructions

• Skim model.md and implementation-notes.md.
• Read the Terminology section of implementation-notes.md, and try to use that terminology when reporting issues.
• Exercise the 6 public query parameters that appear in [CalculusGrapherQueryParameters.ts] (https://github.com/phetsims/calculus-grapher/blob/master/js/common/CalculusGrapherQueryParameters.ts).
• Exercise the 5 preferences found in the Simulation tab of the Preferences dialog.
• Exercise "labeled lines", a feature that can be accessed only via PhET-iO. See model.tools.labeledLines in Studio. Ask @pixelzoom @veillette or @amanda-phet if you have questions.
• Exercise "labeled points", a feature that can be accessed only via PhET-iO. See model.tools.labeledPoints in Studio. Ask @pixelzoom @veillette or @amanda-phet if you have questions.
• Prior memory testing was done in Memory leak testing calculus-grapher#265, if you'd like to compare results.
• There is one place where overlapping pointer areas are acceptable. See Pointer areas sign-off calculus-grapher#267 (comment).
• Issue Inform QA about important queryParameters for dev Test calculus-grapher#292 discusses a combination of QueryParameters that is useful for testing.

Issues to Verify

For QA...

General features

What to Test

• Click every single button.
• If there is sound, make sure it works.
• Make sure you can't lose anything.
• Play with the sim normally.
• Try to break the sim.
• Try to include browser version numbers
• If there is a console available, check for errors and include them in the Problem Description.
• Run through the string tests on at least one platform, especially if it is about to go to rc.
• Check the Game Up harness on one platform.

---

PhET-iO features

What to Test

• Make sure that public files do not have password protection. Use a private browser for this.
• Make sure that private files do have password protection. Use a private browser for this.
• Make sure standalone sim is working properly.
• Make sure the wrapper index is working properly.
• Make sure each wrapper is working properly.
• Launch the simulation in Studio with ?stringTest=xss and make sure the sim doesn't navigate to youtube
• For newer PhET-iO wrapper indices, save the "basic example of a functional wrapper" as a .html file and open it. Make
  sure the simulation loads without crashing or throwing errors.

Accessibility features

What to Test

• Specific instructions can be found above.

• Make sure the accessibility (a11y) feature that is being tested doesn't negatively affect the sim in any way. Here is
  a list of features that may be supported in this test:

  • Alternative Input
  • Interactive Description
  • Sound and Sonification
  • Pan and Zoom
  • Mobile Description
  • Voicing

• Test all possible forms of input.

  • Test all mouse/trackpad inputs.
  • Test all touchscreen inputs.
  • Test all keyboard navigation inputs (if applicable).
  • Test all forms of input with a screen reader (if applicable).

Screen Readers

This sim may support screen readers. If you are unfamiliar with screen readers, please ask Katie to introduce you to
screen readers. If you simply need a refresher on screen readers, please consult the
QA Book, which should have all of the information
you need as well as a link to a screen reader tutorial made by Jesse. Otherwise, look over the a11y view before opening
the simulation. Once you've done that, open the simulation and make sure alerts and descriptions work as intended.

Platforms and Screen Readers to Be Tested

• Windows 10 + Latest Chrome + Latest JAWS
• Windows 10 + Latest Firefox + Latest NVDA
• macOS + Safari + VoiceOver
• iOS + Safari + VoiceOver (only if specified in testing issue)

Critical Screen Reader Information

We are tracking known screen reader bugs in
here. If you find a
screen reader bug, please check it against this list.

Keyboard Navigation

This sim supports keyboard navigation. Please make sure it works as intended on all platforms by itself and with a
screen reader.

Magnification

This sim supports magnification with pinch and drag gestures on touch screens, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse/wheel controls. Please test magnfication and make sure
it is working as intended and well with the use cases of the simulation. Due to the way screen readers handle user input, magnification is NOT expected to
work while using a screen reader so there is no need to test this case.

The dev version for this test was published on Sunday 3/19 @ 21:39 MDT, and this issue was moved to "Active Tests" in the QA Pipeline.

@KatieWoe when this test is completed, please tell us who should be added to QA credits. You can do that either via a comment in this issue, or in phetsims/calculus-grapher#202.

Here is some terminology that can be useful for the curve manipulation modes.

Left	Right
HILL	TRIANGLE
PEDESTAL	PARABOLA
SINUSOID	FREEFORM
TILT	SHIFT

[KatieWoe]

The sim seems to be quite laggy when using the Data: Textarea wrapper. Is this a concern/worth an issue?

The sim seems to be quite laggy when using the Data: Textarea wrapper. Is this a concern/worth an issue?

You are probably trying to change the curve points. There is a lot of meta data associated with a curve since all points have some metadata associated with them. You can create an issue though.

[KatieWoe]

Note on iPad performance. Performance of the sim was good for the most part. In some PhET-iO wrappers it has more lag such as in the State wrapper. I think this is alright, as discussed in phetsims/calculus-grapher#313 but let me know if you want an issue.

[stemilymill]

Chromebook performance: sim performance is good, just very slight lag with the freeform tool

Calling QA here

[pixelzoom]

Thanks QA team! You found some great stuff. Our plan is to finish addressing issues, then move on to RC testing. So I think we can go ahead and close this issue.
