How to scroll through Test Cases using JAWS?

A blind colleague uses JAWS screen reader to navigate Azure DevOps. They navigate to Test Suites/Plans, select their Suite/Plan to view the Test Cases in the main panel under the Execute tab.

They navigate through each Test Case column and row displayed on screen until they get to the bottom of what is being displayed on the screen.

Here, a sighted person would simply mouse over to the scroll bar and scroll down. However, using JAWS, there is no option to move to the next 'page' of results. JAWS simply just stops. In other applications, this same scenario would see JAWS having option to 'go to the nextpage of results'. No so here.

The keyboard shortcuts mentioned by Microsoft to continue navigating to the next Test Case/row (shift+alt+n or shift+alt+p) do not work. Arrow keys do not work. User can only reorder the results (meaning they will never get to the middle of the list because regardless of ordering, it will always be off screen), or filter things out (lengthy and uncertain process).

How is a blind person supposed to scroll through the Test Cases?!

    Hi Dosen, Jaala,
    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Azure DevOps is currently not supported in the Q&A forums.

    I recommend initiating a new discussion through the Developer Community

    Moderators are readily available there to assist you and provide guidance.
