[Live-demo] please update app tests..

[Cameron Shorter]

Daniel,
Yes, you are right, for projects that have a quickstart, the testing 
steps can just say:
"Run the Quickstart". This was the original idea, but I can see that we 
have been sloppy in defining that. (I'll endevour to do better on the 
next release).
