+++ title = "Tested using..." +++

When you're an inclusive designer, it's pertinent to do some testing. Following specs is one thing, but you need to verify that your component works okay for users.

Infusion provided a tested shortcode that let's you show which browsers and assistive technologies you've tried your design out in. Here's an example. Note the commas and "+" signs.

{{}} {{% tested using="Firefox Android + NVDA, Chrome, Safari iOS + Voiceover, Edge" %}} {{}}

This outputs:

{{% tested using="Firefox Android + Talkback, Chrome, Safari iOS + Voiceover, Edge" %}}

The value for the using attribute follows a specific format: each testing setup is separated by a comma (with a space if you like, but it's not mandatory). If you want to add an assistive technology (or any other "add on") this needs to follow a "+". This additional part can be anything, like "A VR headset I borrowed", but there are only a few browser terms available. These are case sensitive, so you need to write them as below:

  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • IE
  • Edge
  • Opera
  • Chrome Android
  • Firefox Android
  • Safari iOS

Obviously, this is not a comprehensive list and more may be added over time. But it covers most of the main browsers for pairing with other software — at least in testing.
