[LDTP-Dev] Using LDTP to make applications accessible

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Brandon,

As John mentioned, LDTP relies on the underlying accessibility library. If
the widget is not visible to the accessibility layer, then its not
available to LDTP API. For custom widgets, if you could expose the
accessibility info, that will resolve all the issues of automated testing.

I just searched and found this info -
http://www.trivedigaurav.com/blog/towards-making-kivy-apps-accessible-2/

Guess the comment was from you, on that post ?
