== Ideas ==

 * '''UbuntuTesting@Home:''' Present the test scripts in a way that allows people to test with them easily at home. Initially this would be a set of packages with test scripts glued together by a howto wiki page. Later we can add a GUI interface that lets users download and run tests.
 * '''Test reporting website: ''' A section of qa.ubuntu.com where users can upload test results.
 * [[/Roadmap|Testing Automation Roadmap]] - Roadmap of the activities related to testing automation.
 * [[/Desktop|Desktop Testing]] - Automation of the desktop tests using LDTP.
 * [[/Checkbox|Checkbox]] - Application to launch tests and send results to Launchpad.
