Hi Team,

We are having below questions on Resize and Reflow


1.
Performing Screen reader testing when screen Resized or Reflow settings applied on the page.

      Our Understanding: We are not performing screen reader testing on the screen when reflow settings are applied on the page because this success criteria is mainly to test responsive design. Whereas we are performing screen reader testing when resized the page that       to on the specific components which are newly appearing on the resized screen (For ex: Hamburger menu etc..). Please share your thoughts and let me know that our approach is correct or not.


1.
Performing Reflow testing by making some changes in console on Remote machine where we don't have access to make system changes.

      Console changes: Selecting Responsive design with resolutions 320 X 256 and validating the page
      
      Actually, with this approach we are not getting 100% accurate results. Please share your thoughts on this approach whether it is the correct approach or is there is any other approaches are there when we don't have permissions to make system changes on remote       machine.

Thanks,
Raghavendra
