      1/ fresh new install, create some new roles, create a few course and rename some roles in them including the course contact role and enrol users to course + create some groups
      2/ test following areas, verify role names are displayed correctly (that is make sure localised role names are present, no blank names)

      • system role definitions and management
      • role management in all other context levels
      • roles in admin settings - search for "role" in admin tree
      • perform back and restore on other system
      • override role name alias
      • verify course contact roles are visible on /index.php and /course/info.php
      • verify main enrol UI role names
      • verify role names in enrol plugins settings pages and instance forms
      • verify group UI including autogroup script
      • verify mod_url extra parameters (you need to enable it in mod_url settings first)
      • verify all reports
      • verify user profile roles
      • verify role option in user selector (bulk files or list of all users)

      3/ try upgrade of existing site
      4/ try manually emptying names and descriptions of standard roles
      5/ try switching language again and verify names and descriptions are fully localised
      6/ review new help icons for role short name, full name and description on role definition page
      7/ verify form validation - empty full names are allowed for standard roles only

      Originally the names for student and teacher could be changed in courses, I guess we could simulate it now with:

      1/ empty role name means use shortname to get rolename using get_string(); if name present in role definition use format_string() that handles multilang names
      2/ add role name plural field to handle plurals correctly
      3/ add function get_role_name() and get_role_name_plural() and search&replace in codebase

      ideas?
