OK, I added it. 
What does "tool usage verification" mean?

Testing Priorities

 

Here’s the prioritized list of the items you requested.  If any of the items are unclear, please get back to me ASAP on them so we can clear them up.  I need testing estimates on each item so I can cost balance the prioritization of the items.  Please cost them in the order listed. 

 

The Bold text after some of the items refers to OSs/Versions/File Format.  These are suggestions for the level of test coverage with these variables I think we will need.  I’m happy to discuss them more if you’re interested.

 

A Sched+ will come after this for us to sign off on the priorities.
