In fact, I still have no idea what exactly the tests encompass (I've heard about some browser tests for VE because I lurk a lot, never heard of any for core) or where to find them or how to run them. Either I'm slow or we have a serious documentation failure here.
Can something be done about it? Can we have the results reported somewhere visible – preferably to gerrit, as jenkins already reports some post-merge checks there? Or maybe we can have automatically filed bug reports if the build breaks? A bot reporting test status on #wikimedia-dev? Anything?
Yes. We didn't have the infrastructure to run these test in-house before, we're now working on rectifying that. Jenkins will (no firm date given for when) do this reporting back.
The current less than 100% helpful results[0] are irc-spammed in #wikimedia-qa, if you want to watch them as they come in.
[0] Less than 100% because they're testing way more than one commit, so you need to put your thinking cap on to determine who broke the test :)
