Hi Patrick,
My understanding for the automatic testing mentioned here is about developer 
unit test or kind of pre-integration test before "gbs submit".
As you've discussed there are several ways to do unit test, either integrate 
with Jenkins build system, or submit test request through gbs command. QA 
provided another standalone web tool for unit test, we call it developer 
testing tool (DTT). It might not perfect, but do provide below capabilities for 
unit test:
- Share lab devices with developer, and provide a way for developer to share 
his device with others in same group. So far, there is one VTC7120 and one 
VTC1010 in the system.
- Share QA automated test suites. User can select test sets for unit test.
- Image management, user can select released image or any image which can be 
reached through http or https
- User can upload and install system packages or developer test cases to IVI 
device, the trigger the test
- Fetch log and test result from test device
- Monitor test progress
...

This test infrastructure is used by pulsaudio, gstreamer and bluez developers 
before. DTT helped developers to get confidence on package upgrade.
