• From Visual Studio 2010 press the F5 button, this will build, deploy and activate your solution and should present a browser window pointing to our Document library.
  
  
  
  



• Add a new document by clicking the add document link.



• Browse for a valid document and click ok to add the document.



• The document should appear in the library
  
  
  
  



• Click the tasks link in the left nav – this will display all tasks.
  You should notice a task assigned to your dev user :
  
  
  
  
  
  Note : if no user name appears in the assigned to box – it could be that you have not assigned them access to your site, so you will need to assign permissions for the user and add a new document to repeat this test.
  
  



• Select the task and edit the task.
  
  
  
  



• Assign 100% complete then save
  You will now notice a new task in the task list assigned to our test user
  
  
  
  
  
  



• Edit the Testers task.



• Set the completion to 100%



• Put the word rejected into the description – this should create another task for our developer to re-review.
  
  
  
  
  



• Save the task
  
  Notice another task has appeared in the task list assigned to our dev user
  
  
  
  
  



• Now complete this task



• Then complete the new tester task without putting the word rejected in the description.
  
  Note that all tasks are showing as 100% complete
  
  
  
  
  



• Now review the document in the devjobs document library
