QA test plan 2.40/Keyboard operations

Introduction

This project improves usability and productivity of Openbravo ERP by enabling users to operate the product without the mouse.

There are many benefits of mouse-less operation. Among them:

• Improved productivity: by not having to move the hands from the keyboard to the mouse, user can enter transactions in a reduced amount of time; additionally , thanks to shortcuts, users can access functions in a far or even hidden portion of the screen without having to scroll or navigate to it.
• Accessibility: many classes of disable users have difficulties in operating a mouse. In the Unites States, the Section 508 mandates that Federal Agencies adopt software applications that are accessible to disable users; one of the concrete requirements is keyboard accessibility. Many other countries are adopting similar standards

Aim of the project

• Keyboard navigation: ability to move from field to field as well as to different part of the screen using the keyboard
• Keyboard shortcuts: ability to invoke common functions using the keyboard
• Focus management: ability to declaratively control the initial position of the focus following a specific user action (for example: where is the focus after initial navigation to a window)

Impact in the application

• All the manual windows
• All the WAD windows
