Description

This test case ensures that the Orca screen reader functions correctly in Fedora, providing essential accessibility support for visually impaired users.

Setup

  1. Install the pre-release version of Fedora that is to be tested on a bare metal or virtual machine, ensuring that Orca is included in the installation.
  2. Connect any necessary audio output devices such as speakers or headphones.

How to test

  1. Start the system and log into the desktop environment.
  2. Activate Orca using the keyboard shortcut (usually Alt + Super + S) or through the accessibility settings in the system menu.
  3. Navigate through various system menus using keyboard shortcuts and listen to the feedback from Orca.
  4. Open a document in a text editor and a web page in a browser. Use Orca to read the content and navigate through the text.
  5. Test the Orca settings menu to adjust voice, speed, and verbosity levels.
  6. Navigate to system settings and other utilities, ensuring Orca reads all accessible information.
  7. Use Orca with shortcut keys to read tooltips, window titles, and status messages.
  8. Perform a system restart and ensure Orca automatically starts and functions as expected upon reboot.

Expected Results

  1. Orca should start up automatically if set to do so, or be easily activated through the designated shortcut or menu.
  2. The screen reader must accurately and clearly verbalize the contents of the screen, including text, control elements, and system messages.
  3. Users should be able to adjust Orca's settings to suit their preferences without issue.
  4. Upon system restart, Orca should resume functionality without requiring reconfiguration.

Optional

Testers may also explore compatibility with other applications that are commonly used by visually impaired users, such as email clients and web browsers, to ensure comprehensive accessibility.
