The test suite will normally be filled with its intended content. However, simulated or fake content may be used, provided that the dimensions and physical characteristics of such content are as close as possible to the intended content. Make sure the test suite is closed normally as if it was ready for distribution. If using simulated or fake content, ensure that the normal shutdown method is still used.
