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 lets 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 + JAWS, Chrome, Safari iOS + Voiceover, Edge" %}}

This outputs:

Tested using | Firefox with JAWS | Chrome | Safari iOS with 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 for testing purposes.
