White List batch creation functionality tests (per Scott Amerson; modified by Lisa Wilson)
All of these tests require admin access 
.
Course creation information, including the list of courses to be added with their subject, term, CRNs, generated prodiver Ids and instructor Kerberos Ids will be shared with the admin QA tester prior to the test run. Detailed roster information will either be viewable from an outside source or will be provided prior to the test run.

Action |
User Acting As |
Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
Login in as yourself (admin user), access the Sites tool in Administration Workspace, and navigate to a newly created course from the white list using the Serach function. |
admin |
Course site specified from batch list exists. |
Click on the Site Id to access the admin view of the "Site Info" tool. Select the Pages button under the text Add/Edit Pages. Verify the order of tools listed |
admin |
The tools for the course strat with Home and the remaining UCD-default tools should be listed in alphabetical order. The tools should match the list of tools above except that Help is not listed. |
Reorder the tools for your selected course |
admin |
You should be able to reorder the tools for the site via the Administration Workspace "Sites" tool. |
- If you access the "Site Info" tool in any of the sites, and then go to "Edit Tools", you shouldn't be able to remove the "Site Info" tool because it's declared as required in sakai.properties.
However,
1. If the instructor adds more tools, they are placed alphabetically at the end of the existing list, e.g., H, As, CR, EA, MC, R, SI, S&T, T&Q, then An, DB, GB, M, Sc, Sy, W, Help. Shouldn't the whole list be re-alphabetized?
2. Is there any way for an instructor (in addition to the Admin) to re-order the tools for a given course?
