10 I've had similar thoughts about this and have already been working on
11 some tooling for this.

13 We would need to establish exactly what criteria must be met for an
14 automated test to be considered as successful.

16 Here's a sample report that my tool produces:

19 In this case, would it be enough that it builds and tests pass? What
20 about the QA issues? Do we need someone to review them to determine if
21 they should block stabilisation, or if they're even a regression or not?
