+
+## Telemetry Epilogue
+ * After finishing your tests, go to General settings, press Diagnostic data viewer and check if you have xml files for the utilities you've tested and if it looks like the events in those xml files were generated by the actions you did with the utilities you've tested.
+
+## [Install tests](tests-checklist-template-installer-section.md)
+ * install a **previous version** on a clean machine (a clean machine doesn't have the `%localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerToys` folder)
+ * open the Settings and for each module change at least one option
+ * open the FancyZones editor and create two custom layouts:
+    * a canvas layout with 2 zones, use unicode chars in the layout's name
+    * one from grid template using 4 zones and splitting one zone
+    * apply the custom canvas layout to the primary desktop
+    * create a virtual desktop and apply the custom grid layout
+    * if you have a second monitor apply different templates layouts for the primary desktop and for the second virtual desktop
+ * install the new version (it will uninstall the old version and install the new version)
+ - [ ] 1. verify the settings are preserved and FancyZones configuration is still the same
+ - [ ] 2. test installing as SYSTEM (LocalSystem account)
+   * Remove current PowerToys.
+   * Download PsTools from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
+   * Run PowerToys installer with psexec tool `psexec.exe -sid <path_to_installer_exe`
+   * Brief check if all modules are working
+
+ * PER-USER and PER-MACHINE TESTS:
+   * Install **previous version** on a clean machine and update with new per-machine version. Ensure that it is installed in Program files and that registry entries are under **HKLM**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
+   * Try installing per-user version over already installed per-machine version and ensure that proper error message is shown.
+   * Remove PowerToys and install per-user version. Ensure that it is installed in <APPDATA>/Local/PowerToys and that registry entries are under **HKCU**/Software/Classes/PowerToys. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly.
+   * Create a new user and install per-user version there as well. Go trhough different modules and ensure that they are working correctly. Ensure that changing settings for one user does not change settings of other user.

+## This is for tracking UI-Tests migration progress for Hosts File Editor Module
+Refer to [release check list] (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/releaseChecklist/doc/releases/tests-checklist-template.md#hosts-file-editor) for all manual tests.
+
+### Existing Manual Test-cases run by previous PowerToys owner
+For existing manual test-cases, we will convert them to UI-Tests and run them in CI and Release pipeline
+
+ * Launch Host File Editor:
+   - [x] Verify the application exits if "Quit" is clicked on the initial warning. (**HostsSettingTests.TestWarningDialog**)
+   - [x] Launch Host File Editor again and click "Accept". The module should not close. (**HostModuleTests.TestEmptyView**)
+   - [ ] Launch Host File Editor again and click "Accept". The module should not close. Open the hosts file (`%WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc`) in a text editor that auto-refreshes so you can see the changes applied by the editor in real time. (VSCode is an editor like this, for example)
+   - [ ] Enable and disable lines and verify they are applied to the file.
+   - [ ] Add a new entry and verify it's applied.
+   - [ ] Add manually an entry with more than 9 hosts in hosts file (Windows limitation) and verify it is split correctly on loading and the info bar is shown.
+   - [x] Try to filter for lines and verify you can find them. (**HostModuleTests.TestFilterControl**)
+   - [ ] Click the "Open hosts file" button and verify it opens in your default editor. (likely Notepad)
+ * Test the different settings and verify they are applied:
+   - [ ] Launch as Administrator.
+   - [x] Show a warning at startup. (**HostsSettingTests.TestWarningDialog**)
+   - [ ] Additional lines position.
+
+### Additional UI-Tests cases
+  - [x] Add manually an entry with more than 9 hosts and Add button should be disabled. (**HostModuleTests.TestTooManyHosts**)
+  - [x] Add manually an entry with less or equal 9 hosts and Add button should be enabled. (**HostModuleTests.TestTooManyHosts**)
+  - [x] Should show empty view if no entries. (**HostModuleTests.TestEmptyView**)
