| Section : | 2.2.7.3.1 | Page no. : | 2-31 | Line no.: | | Comment : | With regard to usability tests, the WSG encourages commercial
vendors to conduct usability tests on the ALVS. Consideration should be given to
identifllng the responsible entities (e.g., vendors, state governments, EAC's Independent
Testing Authorities (ITAs)) and requiring those entities, not merely encouraging them, to
conduct summative usability tests and studies for the ALVS and the Audio-Tactile
Interface system (VSIATI). These usability tests and resuIts should be part of the
Common Industry Format (CFl) performance and functionality benchmarks supported by
factual and statistical information regarding the alternative language accessibility of
voting systems for voters with alternative language neds. The Commission should
consider including such requirements as part of the testing and certification process in
Version 2 of the VVSG to be issued in the future. | |
