>> **Analysis** : That is due to the role mapping of tab items as `NSAccessibilityRadioButtonRole` in `JavaAccessibilityUtilities.m` file. Since the accessibility role description is fetched in `accessibilityRoleDescription` API if `CommonComponentAccessiblity.m` file, the sub-role passed as a parameter is `nil`, returned value is RadioButton..

>> **Proposed Fix** : Fix is to get the correct accessibility role description from Appkit, we should pass `NSAccessibilityTabButtonSubrole` in the subrole parameter and that returns the accessibility role as `Tab` and is announced correctly by VO.

>> **Testing** : Manual test case has been added to verify the fix.
