As a newcomer to Eclipse, I needed a bit of clarification when I ran through the UA test cases. I think some clarifications can be made to the UA test case cheatsheets so that there is no confusion, regardless of who runs the cases:

Test case A11 - Would be nice if there were steps on how to install ua.tests provided in the cheat sheet as optional steps.

Test case B2 - The bookmark test steps contain an incorrect step title  (Step titled 'Remove Bookmark' describes how to Open a bookmark) and a couple of steps that should be swapped (i.e. opening a bookmark and then removing it, instead of vice versa).

Test case B3 - I'm seeing different search results than specified in the cheat sheet (for example, where the cheat sheet says I should get 14 search results, I get quite a few more). I believe the cheat sheet shouldn't mention a specific expected result like this one since the Eclipse Help pages change often.

I have a patch for test case B2 at the moment. If UA thinks that it's worth it to fix the other two suggestions, I can investigate.

These are all worth fixing, can you attach patches for the other two problems.
