a) The test createTextArea() does not have JTextArea .
YES, createTextArea () does not create a JTextArea, but the instruction field itself is not editable JTextArea. Take a look at the AccessibleComponentTest to be sure.
b) The test does not say its a non-editable JTextArea. Even the exception String also say as follows
exceptionString = "Simple text area test failed!"; .
Yes, the instructions do not indicate that this is not an editable JTextArea, you can supplement the instructions. As well as an exception String.
c) If user press "Pass" to see the next test then there is no need of createTextArea() .
There is a need.This test tries to cover all cases and possible configurations of various text components: single-line, multi-line, editable, non-editable - and various possible combinations. It is also convenient to use them when developing and debugging native implementations of a11y, for which they were created by me.
