Nicholas,
We'd like to add some content to this wiki to include how the
autopilot tests are executed in CI (which is a question we often
receive). This is to help resolve questions about how developers
should run tests now that QA is gating on autopilot test results.
We're working on updates to the README file we maintain for describing
how to use the CI tools:
https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-ci-engineering/ubuntu-test-cases/testing-docs/+merge/251507
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ecanonical-ci-engineering/ubuntu-test-cases/testing-docs/+merge/251507>
At a minimum, we like to reference the CI README on the wiki. Do you
mind providing some reviews and guidance on messaging this to the
community without adding confusion?
Thanks,
Francis

I believe our conversation this morning on IRC covered this
sufficiently. In summary, fully documenting and ensuring it's possible
to recreate the issues found on the dashboard is a great start. Also
consider instructing folks how to get and use the subunit file results,
how to view them (trv perhaps), and linking to the readthedocs site
rather than a raw file in bzr. Finally, it's important to mention the
caveats of attempting to recreate old image results and encouraging
folks to test and worry about results from current images that can be
reproduced with the current packages.
Also, as suggested we should link this information from developer.u.c to
make it available to a wider audience, in addition to announcing it
publicly on the mailing list. Finally, I can help make sure the core app
developers themselves directly receive this information.
A question for you that is yet unanswered. If someone has trouble, to
whom or what should they turn for help? This can be different depending
on a public request vs someone from the core apps developer community
who is working on shipping code.
