That code sounds very familiar and reminds me of my first sprint. IIRC 
we opted out testing this code because we didn't know how to do that.

Personally I haven't been using this button at all the console scripts 
are much more convenient for me.

grok currently exposes the functionality in a very accessible way 
through the standard UI though.
