This step will test your course manifest and if it passes, continue the process of launching the course Steps 4 and 5: You can simply use the default values Step 6: Launch the course (SCO) when ready. When the source launches in its new window, you can go through the course and test functionality. The Suite tool window will remain open and you’ll notice in the right frame the test log will be generated. The test log contains all SCORM commands that will be sent to a LMS and all values the LMS would return. Upon completing the course testing (for example: going to every page, answering quiz questions, and any performing any other functionality tests), close the course window. Then in the tool’s left frame, click the “Complete Test” button. The right frame will display a summary which reports if the course is SCORM-complaint. Save the log by scrolling back to the top of the right frame and clicking “Save Log”.
