Purpose

What this test checks

Checks viewport orientation and focus tracking with the real Windows Magnifier with Edge magnifier at 200% and 400%.

What this result means: This procedure records how Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking behaves on windows-magnifier-edge. It can expose evidence relevant to WCAG 1.3.2, 2.4.3 and 2.4.11 for the tested task and environment. Use the linked conformance procedures for WCAG 1.3.2, 2.4.3 and 2.4.11 to assess the complete requirements across the declared conformance scope.

Why it matters

Checks viewport orientation and focus tracking with the real Windows Magnifier with Edge magnifier at 200% and 400%. People most likely affected: people with low vision who use operating-system or specialist screen magnification. Focus, text cursors, remote changes or task context may move outside the magnified viewport. In the recorded windows-magnifier-edge environment, track the visual viewport, pointer, focus, notifications and reading position at the stated magnification; unexpected viewport movement or distant feedback can make the next action impossible to locate.

When to use it

Apply Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking when the frozen desktop task executed with the named screen magnifier and browser at recorded magnification levels. The selected focus is viewport orientation and focus tracking.

Confirm before starting

Mark it not applicable only when

Exceptions

This platform, journey, usability or quality procedure creates no additional normative exception. Apply exceptions only in the linked atomic or criterion-level conformance procedure and preserve that separate decision.

Prepare

What you need

  • The product area and test targets are agreed before testing starts.
  • The operating system, browser, viewport and input method are recorded.
  • Test data is safe to use and does not expose unnecessary personal information.

Targets and required variations

  • The selected content, focus movement and complete task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking.
  • Default, revealed, loading, empty, validation error, interruption, recovery and confirmation where meaningful.
  • Every required environment, viewport, orientation, language and authenticated state recorded in the frozen scope.

Clean state

  • Complete a known-good calibration in the same environment before product testing.
  • Start from a recorded clean or known state and preserve any prior preferences, extensions, cache or profile settings that can affect output.

Assumptions: one short journey at one magnification level and view mode; repeat levels or tracking modes that change interaction

Variation: Add a new per-target execution and evidence allowance for each additional target class or state that could produce a different result. Add setup time for each distinct environment.

Excluded: Client coordination, inaccessible-environment recovery, recruitment, legal review, remediation implementation and waiting time unless the procedure states otherwise.

Execute

Test steps

Follow each action in order. The expected result is always visible; open the guidance when you need setup, tool, evidence, decision or repeat details. Step-level recording is optional while work is in progress and required only to export a completed execution.

Step 1

Prepare the scope, target and environment

Purpose: For Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking, prepare the named scenario: Prepare the scope, target and environment. Target: The selected content, focus movement and complete task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking. The preparation must establish this result: The selected targets, states, test data, environment and any scope limitations are complete enough for another qualified tester to reproduce the setup.

User impact: Focus, text cursors, remote changes or task context may move outside the magnified viewport. This scenario isolates that risk in the action named Prepare the scope, target and environment.

Before executing Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking, freeze the product version and scope. Inventory each applicable target, select the required starting states, prepare safe test data and record every required environment value. Complete any named known-good calibration before attributing an observation to the product.

Expected result

The selected targets, states, test data, environment and any scope limitations are complete enough for another qualified tester to reproduce the setup.

Failure observation

During Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking, the target, starting state, environment or scope record remains ambiguous for the scenario named Prepare the scope, target and environment. The preparation result cannot be demonstrated: The selected targets, states, test data, environment and any scope limitations are complete enough for another qualified tester to reproduce the setup.

Setup, evidence and decision guidance
Target
The selected content, focus movement and complete task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking.
Required state

Decide

How to decide

Passed

Focus and new content remain within or are brought predictably into the magnified viewport without loss of context.

Failed

An applicable viewport orientation and focus tracking target has a reproducible material barrier against one or more stated expectations; identify the exact expectation, state and evidence.

Not applicable
The frozen scope contains no content, focus movement or task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking.
Cannot tell
The target is applicable, but conflicting evidence or unresolved responsibility prevents a defensible expectation decision after recorded comparison.
Not tested
An applicable target, required state, complete process or named real environment was not executed.
Aggregation and reporting boundaries

Aggregation: Preserve every target/environment outcome. Any failed target prevents an overall passed procedure result. cantTell and untested remain unresolved; inapplicable is valid only when the completed inventory contains no applicable target.

WCAG decision: This specialist, platform, document, usability or quality result does not set a WCAG success criterion to satisfied or not_satisfied automatically. Use linked atomic and criterion-level procedures for that separate decision.

Automation: A checker, accessibility-tree inspection, emulator or simulated assistive technology is diagnostic evidence only. Complete every required manual, real-platform, contextual and exception check.

Worked example and outcome calibration

A11Y-WMAG-001-WORKED-001: representative worked example

Context: Representative synthetic example for Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking on a fictional, version-frozen product target; no client or participant execution occurred.

Inspected: The tester follows S2 (Execute in each required view mode supported by the platform, including full-screen and at least one lens, docked, split or picture-in-picture mode) using the target, required state, tool and repeat rule stated in this procedure.

Observed output: After the tester completes the Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking scenario named Execute in each required view mode supported by the platform, including full-screen and at least one lens, docked, split or picture-in-picture mode, the recorded observation for the target is inconsistent with the required result: No view-mode-specific barrier is hidden by a passing full-screen result.

Evidence:

  • example-evidence-001: target and state record for The selected content, focus movement and complete task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking.
  • example-evidence-002: contemporaneous observation from the named method — Panning path, visible viewport, focus/text-cursor/pointer tracking and remote-content change. Record panning path, focus/text-cursor tracking, remote content changes, clipped information and every unmagnified visual intervention.
  • example-evidence-003: comparison note linking the actual observation to the expected result and claim boundary

Tester reasoning: The recorded observation does not demonstrate the expected result: No view-mode-specific barrier is hidden by a passing full-screen result. The failed decision is limited to this synthetic target and state; unexecuted coverage is not inferred.

Decision: failed

Finding: A11Y-WMAG-001-example-finding-001 — Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking: expected result is not demonstrated. The represented barrier may affect People with low vision who use operating-system or specialist screen magnification.

Remediation: Change the represented target or process so it demonstrates this result: No view-mode-specific barrier is hidden by a passing full-screen result. Then rerun the affected step and every dependent variation.

Reviewer feedback: The reviewer confirms applicability, environment, actual-versus-expected comparison, evidence references and bounded wording; unsupported product-wide or conformance language is removed.

Final client wording: Synthetic training finding: the sampled Windows Magnifier with Edge: viewport orientation and focus tracking target does not meet the procedure expectation in the recorded state. User impact and broader scope require evidence from the buyer's real execution.

Retest: Synthetic retest example: after the represented change, repeat the failed step plus material error and recovery states. Close the finding only when new evidence demonstrates the expected result; otherwise retain the non-pass outcome.

Boundary: This is a representative, synthetic worked example for training and calibration. It is not evidence from a client product, participant or real assistive-technology execution.

Outcome calibration

Passed
In windows-magnifier-edge, the selected viewport orientation and focus tracking target completes the recorded action and meets this expectation: Focus and new content remain within or are brought predictably into the magnified viewport without loss of context.

The example is a calibration scenario, not an execution or approval.

Failed
An applicable viewport orientation and focus tracking target produces a reproducible barrier during the named action, with the exact state and affected user task recorded.

A failed target remains failed even if another environment or target passes.

Not applicable
The frozen scope contains no content, focus movement or task relevant to viewport orientation and focus tracking.

Inapplicable requires a completed inventory showing that no target matches applicability; a missing environment is not inapplicable.

Cannot tell
The viewport orientation and focus tracking target is applicable, but conflicting product/platform evidence or missing authoritative information prevents a defensible responsibility or expectation decision.

Record the conflict, comparisons attempted and person or evidence needed to resolve it.

Not tested
The viewport orientation and focus tracking target is applicable, but a required state, complete process or real environment was not executed.

Untested remains incomplete and cannot be converted to passed or inapplicable.

Sampling, complete processes and platform limitations

Run each selected critical journey from start to finish, including its main error and recovery paths. Record which journeys and states were included.

If this check is part of a user journey, test the selected journey from start to finish, including relevant errors and recovery. Record any path that was not tested.

  • Screen magnification and browser zoom are different technologies. Coverage applies only to the exact recorded magnifier/browser configuration.
  • Check relevant browser, tool or assistive-technology release notes before assigning unexpected behaviour to the product.
  • If responsibility is unclear, record the reproducible behaviour and use cannot tell until it is resolved.
