| This page lists current Moodle features in a format suitable for setting up test cases (see [[Jira as a Test Case Management Software]]).
| |
| | |
| Each item should state a task that can be done in Moodle. The task should be feature sized (ie not too small and not too large). Something that could be explained to a user in 3 to 10 steps. For example:
| |
| | |
| GOOD: Users can post replies to forum posts, including embedded media and attached documents.
| |
| BAD: Users can have discussions.
| |
| BAD: Users can click a button named "Reply".
