Yes, thanks, but it's not exactly the same as local version and I don't
know what version is used online so it makes the test less trustful on a
QA perspective.

Of course, I don't want you to manage test runs :) but if you could
supply me with few docs and what needs to be tested based on your
experience, it would be great.
