Introduction

[Nicholas Skaggs]

My client got ansy to hit send before I finished :-) I wanted to let you
know our main methods of writing automated testcases are using autopilot.
There are also tests written using autopkg and selenium is used for testing
web interactions of course. Some of these links might be helpful for you to
see the output of our testing efforts:

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/

That is the QA dashboard where many results are collated. You can see the
output of the autopilot tests we help write for the core apps for the
ubuntu touch platform there for instance:

http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/smokeng/saucy/touch/

We also have ubiquity and gtk desktop apps running, and the output of those
can be found here directly on jenkins:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Saucy/view/AutoPkgTest/job/saucy-adt-ubiquity/
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/autopilot-ubuntu-applications/

I'd encourage you to check out writing some autopilot tests and dive in on
core apps, ubiquity and desktop app efforts :-) We have lots of great
tutorials and videos as already mentioned in the other mail. Again, welcome!

Nicholas
