This is a starting point for listing basic tests we can perform to complete sanity testing assignments. I'm taking it right from the D2L 8.1 Sanity Test document we have been using, plus some basic tests for Grades. This might be a good chance for us to come up with better, more comprehensive tests than the ones provided by D2L. To add anything to this, please contribute to the child page ("Editable copy of..."). That way, we'll easily be able to compare the two.
