Good point, just had a look at the extension.
I just don't get how to use that test without applying it to some random 
instance and then run it from there (which works, after all) - this 
makes no sense IMO if we just want to check if all given instances are 
fully created and get a list of new ones to create.

Is there a way to run the test manually or by a scheduler task (didn't 
find one) and get its output? Or store it to the registry?

Yes, exactly.
Looking forward to that!
