I've had a look during DebConf, and indeed the web interface for
developers is much better than what Jenkins will give us as-is.
Perhaps at some point we'll need $something that extracts data from
Jenkins and presents it to developers, and at that point it may be
worth looking into OpenQA.

Note that tests are written directly in Perl, with no overlay language
like Gherkin. Not as if we were taking much benefit from Gherkin for
{intra,inter}-team communication yet, but I like it that we're able to;
and I intend to try to use Gherkin more in the future when discussing
changes with UX folks.

Cheers,
