+                This test is applicable only on macOS.
+
+                Test UI contains a JFrame containing JTabbedPane with multiple tabs.
+
+                Follow these steps to test the behaviour:
+
+                1. Start the VoiceOver (Press Command + F5) application.
+                2. Test Frame should have focus. If not, then bring focus to test frame.
+                3. Press Left / Right arrow key to move to next and prevoius tab.
+                4. VO should announce "Tab" in stead of "RadioButton" for tab items.
+                   (For e.g. When Tab 1 is selected, VO should announce "Tab 1, selected,
+                   tab, group).
+                5. Press Pass if you are able to hear correct announcements
