This test requires a site containing a few courses in various course categories.

The test also requires admin access. If you would like to use the QA testing site for running the test, please see the QA testing guide for details of how to request admin access. Begin just after the hourly reset to give yourself plenty of time to complete the test!

This is an exploratory test of a new feature, so please feel free to try anything you like and not just the test steps!
