<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We’ve found that NVDA and Firefox is the best combination for general testing. Keep in mind that JAWS will often times make guesses as to form field lables when no programmatic label is present. Sometimes it
is correct which makes some people think it is accessible if JAWS reads a label, when in reality JAWS just made a guess and happened to get it right, at least that time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I have a frustrating question. When testing using JAWS and NVDA with Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Chrome, each combination can give different results for different pages and applications
and pages within applications. Especially in complicated applications like Blackboard (our LMS). For example, with some combinations text boxes are labeled, but not with other combinations. First, since it’s not really possible to test every possible page
with every browser/AT combination, what are we supposed to do? Second, how can I give developers guidance to remedy issues when they might be different depending on the AT used?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
