The Cooperative Testing Courses are Testing Tracks in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center used for Cooperative Testing Initiatives. Spread across different parts of the facility and connected to the Hub, the Cooperative Testing Courses make up the co-op part of Portal 2.
Overview[]
GLaDOS has made so that the last map of each series is set outside the testing area, so that she can have ATLAS and P-body put each time an old Laserdisc in a player, revealing data only useful to her. The main purpose of these tests is to have the robots acquire human traits so that the camera placed at the entrance to the Extended Relaxation Annex (or human vault) is fooled by thinking the robots are humans, thus clearing the access to the vault, and giving GLaDOS access to thousands of fresh human Test Subjects.
Calibration Course[]
Set in the modern facility, it serves as introducing Test Subjects to the basics of testing. GLaDOS explains how to use the ping tool and Test Subjects are asked to choose their favorite animal in a table of 9, including a horse, a deer, a rooster, an elephant, a wolf, a moose, a baboon, a porcupine, and a rhinoceros, as well as their favorite element in a periodic table of 9 elements taken from columns 11 to 13, including copper, zinc, gallium, silver, cadmium, indium, gold, mercury, and thallium.
GLaDOS only makes ATLAS to pick the animal and P-body to choose the element.
