- Only assign an issue to yourself which no one else is testing (Assignee = Unassigned).
- Only assign one issue at a time unless you plan to test a number of related issues within the next 24 hours. In other words, don't assign several issues to yourself then do nothing for several days. ;-)
- The label `test_server_required` indicates issues that can't be tested on the QA testing site. The label `credentials_required` indicates that credentials such as an OAuth 2 service client ID and secret are required.

Using either the [Moodle QA Testing Site](https://qa.moodledemo.net/) or your own test site running the latest Moodle 4.2dev (available from Git on the integration/main branch git://git.moodle.org/integration.git) with [debugging](https://docs.moodle.org/dev/debugging) set to developer, perform each of the steps listed in the test.
3. Please *attach screenshots of the steps where you verify or check something*.
4. If it makes sense, please test using the currently supported themes, Boost and Classic.
5. Choose an appropriate workflow action:
2. When you are ready to start testing a particular test case, select the workflow action `Start Testing`. If you decide that you can't perform the test, then you just select the workflow action `Cancel testing` and the test will go back into the test backlog, available for testing.

6. Choose an appropriate workflow action:
- `Pass` - Test runs perfectly. Add comment such as feedback about a new feature, browsers used for testing (if applicable; example: "This test passes on Q&A site with Teacher role using Boost theme"), or simply "This test passes - yippee!"
- `Fail` - Something doesn't work, or you obtain debugging messages. Add comment describing the step that doesn't work. If in doubt whether to pass a test, give it a fail and add a comment describing your doubts.
- `Obsolete` - Test is no longer relevant in the current Moodle version. Add comment explaining why.
- `Hold` - Test shouldn't be executed in this current test run. Add a comment explaining why. It would be worth raising this in the QA chat [#qa:moodle.com](https://matrix.to/#/#qa:moodle.com) on Matrix.
