[Vtigercrm-developers] Automated Testing?

[richie]

You do have a point there Ken.
AdventNet had given us a licence to use the QEngine for the regression 
testing purposes.
We can use that for our testing purposes.

It will be good if we could have some automation test team. The QA team 
could handle this.
I had earlier posted a mail about having module QA teams as suggested by 
Torsten.

Do not get vexed so soon Ken. I need you to help us out.
If you can get a move on that will be very good.
