Hi Andrew:
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I did forward it onto the Azure Devops accessibility team and they are working through the issues you raised. We do test Azure DevOps pretty regularly, but as its such a large project we can be testing one part while a change is made in another part we may not catch right away. Please keep the feedback coming, and I'll let you know what the team says.
Ryan

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Access to Azure DevOps (was VSTS)
Hi,
I have been using VSTS in various forms for a few years now. I find I can get my way around the build and release pipeline editors ok with a screen reader and some messing about in various places, but nothing too horible. I have not used it before for story management on the Agile platform, mainly using Jira before. We have now moved to using VSTS work items instead of Jira and I am finding it a real mess.
The main items I am having issues with are:
- When you open a work item and want to view child work items, the screen reader seems to have the parent work item in focus as well so you need to make absolutely sure you are editing the correct work item and not in some other parent work item form. I have more than once closed out a parent item by mistake doing this
- Based on the above, it is really difficult to identify which is a parent and which is a child item because when you navigate to a child work item which itself has children, you can get lost knowing which item belongs to the item you are working on or whether it is a sibling.
- When you change a field and want to move to the next field when using JFW I sometimes get trapped in a field. This happens in some other places with VSTS as well (namely the search options) but usually I can get out of that by pressing escape. not so in this instance.
Anyone else using this and seeing similar? Using latest versions of Chrome and JFW 2018.
Thanks.
Andrew.
