You'll need:

3 sims in estate 1
1 sim in estate 2. You should be the owner of this sim.
1 sim with no estate

I'm not sure if there's a user-friendly way to set up estates or sim ownership. I believe the CSR tool can create estates. The God > God Tools item should be able to assign a sim to an estate, if you know the estate number. I'm not sure how to set yourself the owner of a sim other than editing the simstate file and pasting in your agent id.

UI Enablement

Log in. Go to any sim you don't own.
Open World > Region/Estate. Everything should be disabled in all panels except help buttons. You should be able to see values for all the controls, like terrain raise, block terraform, etc.
Close Region/Estate, go into God mode.
Open Region/Estate - everything should be enabled in all panels.
Close Region/Estate, exit God mode.
Fly to the region you own.
Open Region/Estate. Everything should be enabled in all panels.

For subsequent tests, go to Region/Estate > Estate and make sure Allow Direct Teleport is turned on. (Unless you want to set up telehubs in your regions.)

Panel: General

Make sure you're in a sim you own.
Make sure you own a parcel of land, maybe 8x8 meters or so.
Make sure Edit Land and Fly and Safe (no damage) are on for the parcel.

Raise the land in your parcel with the edit tool. It should raise.
Check "Block Terraform" and click Apply.
Try to lower the land in your parcel. It should not lower.
Uncheck "Block Terraform" and click Apply.
Try to lower the land in your parcel. It should lower.

Start flying.
Check "Block Fly" and hit Apply.
You should fall to the ground and be unable to fly.
The "no fly" icon in the menu should appear.
This should be true even if you are in your "yes fly" parcel.
Fly out of the region and teleport back. You should fall to the ground.
Go into god mode. You should be able to fly again.
Uncheck "Block Fly" and hit Apply.
Leave god mode.
You should be able to fly again, according to per-parcel rules.

Go inside your "Safe" parcel.
Check "Allow Damage" and click "Apply".
The heart icon should appear in the menu bar.
You should be hurt by a fall from a large height.
Uncheck "Allow Damage" and click "Apply"
Per-parcel damage rules should apply.

Set agent limit to 1 and click "Apply".
Try to teleport in two agents. The second should fail.
Try to walk a second agent in from a nearby region. That agent should not be able to walk in.
Set agent limit back to 30 and click "Apply".
You should be able to teleport in two agents.
You should be able to walk in two agents.

Check About Land > Objects for your 8x8 parcel. It should say 14 objects supported.
Set Object Bonus to 2.0 and click Apply.
About Land > Objects should say 29 object supported. (Known bug SL-9784 - need to restart the sim for the viewer to figure it out.)

(Known bug SL-9952 - "Simulator object usage" says 0 out of 29 while "Objects parcel supports" says 28.)

Assuming this is your only parcel on the simulator, create 31 or so boxes on the parcel, then step out of the parcel.
The boxes should start getting returned to you after a minute or so. (Right click the parcel to hurry things along.)
It should return objects until you have 29 left.
(I think object limits and return are broken, and it's not the estate tool's fault, except for the above restart issue.)

Give your parcel an unique name, like "xxxzzz123".
Set your parcel to list in the places directory.
Make sure you can find your parcel under Find > Places.
Set maturity to Mature and click Apply.
Menu bar should show mature immediately.
Under Find > Places, turn off "Include places in mature regions".
Try to find your place "xxxzzz123". You should not find it. (Bug SL-9785 - region restart required)
Bring up the world map. Hover over your region. Tooltip should say "mature".
Set maturity to PG and click Apply.
Menu bar should show PG immediately.
Under Find > Places, you should be able to find your parcel.
The world map tooltip should say "PG".

Bring another avatar into the sim (total 2).
Click "Teleport Home One User" and select that user.
The avatar should be teleported home.
Bring two other avatars into the sim (total 3).
Click "Teleport Home All Users"
All avatars should be teleported home except for you.

Bring another avatar into the region (total 2).
Click "Send Message To Region" and type a message.
Both you and the other avatar should get the message.

Manage Telehubs is covered in Telehub Tools Test

Debug Panel

Build a box that chats "Hello Avatar" continuously.

default{state_entry(){while(1)llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar! "+(string)llFrand(1));}}

Check "Disable Scripts" and click Apply.
The box should stop chatting.
Uncheck "Disable Scripts" and click Apply.
The box should start chatting.

The collisions/physics tests can either be done in a region that already has a low physics FPS, or you can build a test yourself.
Build a "bowl". A large 8x8x8 hollow half-sphere works well.
Build a default sphere with a cut begin of 0.2. This makes it concave to hurt the physics engine more.
Put a script on the spheres so they are continuously moving and colliding in the bowl.

default
{
   state_entry()
   {
       llSetTimerEvent(0.2);
   }
   timer()
   {
       llApplyImpulse(<1,0,0>, TRUE);
   }
}

Put about 50 cut moving spheres in the bowl.
Statistics Bar > Simulator > Time > Physics should show lots of time spent in physics.
In Region/Estate check "Disable Collisions" and click Apply.
The spheres should stop moving. Physics time should go near zero.
You should still be able to walk. You should collide with objects.
Uncheck "Disable Collisions". The spheres should start moving again.
"Disable Physics" should work the same, except you should not be able to walk.

Test Top Colliders next.
Click Top Colliders.
You should get a list of the sphere objects. (Or the nasty colliders, if you're using an existing region.)
Click "Show Beacon".
The object should highlight with a red beacon.

Create a box with this script:

state_entry()
{
  integer x = 0;
  while(1) { x = x + 1; }
}

Name it "Bad Box". Deselect it.
Click "Top Scripts"
Bad Box should be at the top.
Click "Show Beacon"
A beacon should appear over Bad Box.

With an avatar other than yourself (AvatarB), claim some land.
Put some scripted objects on that land.
Put some scripted objects on other people's land.
With the avatar that owns the region (AvatarA), select Region/Estate > Debug
Choose Avatar... and select the other avatar.
Click "Return avatar's scripted objects on other people's land"
AvatarB's objects on other people's land should go away.
AvatarB, put some more objects on other people's land.
AvatarA, click "Return ALL of avatar's scripted objects"
All the scripted objects should be returned to AvatarA, regardless of what land they are on.

Click "Restart Region"
You should get a two minute warning.
Click "Cancel Restart"
You should get a "restart canceled" message.
Click "Restart Region" again.
You should get a two minute warning.
Wait 60 seconds.
You should get a one minute warning.
Go to another sim.
The region should disappear as it goes down, then reappear as it comes back up.

Texture

Bring the region owner and another avatar into the sim.
Try changing the base textures. The mini-map should update for both avatars.
Try changing the detail textures. The world textures should update for both avatars.
I have no idea how the texture elevation ranges are supposed to work. I'd try changing the high values for all corners, then seeing if the blend points on a mountain change.

Terrain

Change the water height and click Apply.
The water height should change immediately.
Change the terrain raise and lower heights to 1.0 and -1.0. Click Apply.
Make sure you are not in God mode.
On a parcel you own, with Edit Land turned on, try to raise and lower the land.
You should only be able to raise and lower by 1 meter.
Change terrain raise and lower to 5.0 and -5.0. Click Apply.
You should now be able to raise and lower by 5 meters.

Make sure you have never used the Force Sunset (Ctrl-Shift-N) option. If you have, the sun stuff won't test correctly. You'll need to relog.
Check "Use Estate Sun". Click Apply.
If the sun is different in the rest of your estate, the sun position should change immediately.
Verify the sun is in the same position as the rest of the estate.
Check "Fixed Sun" and set a different sun position. Click Apply.
Use Estate Sun should uncheck. (You cannot check "Fixed Sun" because it is disabled while "Use Estate" is checked. SL-9792)
Sun should update immediately.
Check "Use Estate Sun" again and click Apply.

Click "Download RAW Terrain"
Save the file to desktop.
Open in Photoshop as 256x256, no header, 13 interleaved channels.
The first (red) channel should resemble the terrain.
Using a pure red brush (255,0,0) paint a thick line on the terrain. You're making a mountain range.
Save as a RAW file, same format, with a different name.
Back in SL, click "Upload RAW terrain" and select the new file.
The terrain should change, showing a new mountain range where you painted.

Go to a parcel you own.
Use the land brush to lower some terrain to make a deep pit.
Back in estate tools, click "Bake Terrain".
You should now be able to raise the terrain only +5 from where it was baked.
After raising the terrain, the "Revert" tool should bring the pit back to how it was when baked.
Raise the terrain again.
Click "Revert Terrain". It should go back to how it was when baked.

Estate Panel

An estate manager is someone who can change the region/estate panel, but doesn't own the region.
Add an estate manager for your primary estate. (This estate only)
Make sure the new estate manager has logged out. (SL-9810 - it would be nice if it updated immediately)
Log in as the estate manager.
Verify that the manager can open the Region/Estate panel and everything but the RAW terrain tools, Bake Terrain, and Estate Managers buttons is enabled.
Verify that the manager can make changes like sun position, disable scripts, etc.
Remove the manager from this estate.
Relog the estate manager.
Verify the region/estate dialog is disabled for that user.

Try the same steps, but add the estate manager to all your estates.
The estate manager should have the whole dialog in all your estates.

The allow list, group list, and ban list are all explained in Estates Test.
The only difference is that you should be able to add/remove entries from either just the current estate, or all estates.

Visible from mainland and mainland visible from here are explained in Estates Test.

Check "Allow Direct Teleport" and click Apply.
Verify a non-god can directly teleport to any place on the sim.
Uncheck "Allow Direct Teleport" and click Apply.
Verify a non-god only teleports to telehubs in the estate.

Put your avatar in one sim in your main estate.
Put another avatar in another sim in your main estate.
Put a third avatar in a different estate entirely.
Click "Send Message To Estate..."
You and the avatar in your estate should receive the message.
The avatar not in your estate should not receive the message.
