Sue   There are many concerns  and you can test  without setting the
systems date forward- at least  until the later stages of testing.

As for actions there are many  to do's and  not to do's
Using test tools will definitely be an aid to productivity and accuracy.
PLUS  it will make the process repeatable.

I will reply to  you directly.
