Hi Rachel,

Since you have some pretty good experience with our suites, what would you
think about doing some maintenance on the existing tests?  For example, the
build for Firefox on beta labs was all green Oct 1 but now has 10 failures.
 I'm looking at the test for search right now, I'm guessing an identifier
has changed.

But we have some perplexing differences with e.g. the Print/export
expand/collapse tests on beta and test2.  I reported
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54886 but I'm not sure
that's all of the issue.

Since we've moved the suites into the repos for their extensions (VE, ULS,
CirrusSearch, Flow soon), we are working on moving all the shared code into
a single gem.  It would be great to have the tests green (or mostly green)
before we deploy that big change, so we can tell where the problems might
be more easily.
