This page lists current Moodle features in a format suitable for setting up test cases (see [[Jira as a Test Case Management Software]]).
 
==Course settings==
 
# A full name, short name, ID number (for communicating with external systems), course category and course description may be set.
# There are six [[Course formats|course formats]] - weekly, weekly with table-less layout, topics, social (oriented around one forum), SCORM (for displaying a SCORM package) and LAMS.
# The number of sections displayed on the course page may be set, also whether hidden sections are shown in collapsed form or completely invisible. A course start date may be set.
# The teacher can choose whether students can view their gradebook and activity reports.
# A maximum upload file size for the course may be set (limited by the site-wide upload size limit).
# If enabled by an administrator, a course theme may be selected.
# A default course role, usually 'student' may be set.
# If enabled by an administrator, an interactive [[Enrolment plugins|enrolment plugin]], such as Paypal may be set.
# Enrolments and other role assignments may be taken from other courses.
# Course enrolment may be restricted to a certain date range or with an [[Enrolment key|enrolment key]].
# [[Guest|Guests]] may be allowed to access the course with/without an enrolment key.
# The number of days a student is enrolled in a course may be specified. Users may receive a notification email when their enrolment is about to expire.
# A course language may be set, otherwise the course will be displayed in the language selected in a user's profile.
# [[Course default settings]] may be set by an administrator.
 
==Groups and groupings==
 
# Users may be organised into [[Groups|groups]] within a course. A user may be a member of more than one group or not in any group.
# In addition to a name, each group may be given a description (displayed on the participants page), a picture (displayed in forum posts and on the participants page) and [[Enrolment key|enrolment key]] (to automatically add users to the group when they enrol in the course).
# [[Auto-create groups|Groups may be created automatically]], with members being allocated randomly or alphabetically according to their first name, last name or ID number.
# There are three [[Groups|group modes]] - no groups, separate groups (each group can only see their own group, others are invisible) and visible groups (each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups).
# The group mode can be defined at two levels - course level (selected setting will be the default group mode for all activities defined within that course)  or activity level.
# If the group mode at course level is forced, then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available.
# Groups may be organised into [[Groupings]] within a course.
# An activity may be assigned to a particular grouping only. Users in other groups will not be able to view the activity.
 
==Backup and restore==
 
# A [[Course backup|course backup]] may be created with or without user data and including all or selected activities.
# The backup may include all (site) users, course users or none.
# The backup may include user files (e.g. assignment submissions), course files or site files used in the course (e.g. files linked to from questions in the question bank).
# The backup may include [[Reports|course activity logs]] or grade histories.
# Selected role assignments may be backed up in order to copy a custom role from one Moodle site to another.
# A backup may be [[Restore|restored]] to a new course or to an existing course, either adding data to it or deleting it first.
# All or selected activities may be restored with or without user data (conditional upon the backup file including the data).
