UDS:R -- the story so far

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Chris, I would love to see what you have. There is some existing 
libreoffice test cases as well -- we need to do some work on exposing 
all the application testcases we have in an easier to see manner. 
However, until then, have a look here:

http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1423/info

The testcase format is documented here, and if start a thread here on 
the wiki the testcase admins would be happy to help get the testcase 
formatted properly for inclusion.
