Activity module tests

Note: This article is a work in progress. Please use the page comments or an appropriate moodle.org forum for any recommendations/suggestions for improvement.

This page lists Moodle 2.0 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. Most settings should be mentioned. 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".
