You misunderstood me. I took that for granted. But I also think that
before starting with the tests we should carefully select which tests we
put into the different categories. I don't want to have 20 Writer tests
that just test "something in Writer", run for 8 hours but don't test the
code that usually is prone to regressions.

Besides that I doubt that there is a representative set of test cases
that can be used as "typical for Writer regressions". The regressions we
had in the past always have been in completely different areas of the
code and it strongly depends on the changed code where to look at. So
having "Writer" as a category is too broad. I'm thinking about "text
formatting", "tables", "layout", "graphics", "objects" etc.

A link to some documentation elsewhere would suffice. And I'm looking
forward for the test runs with the improved test tool.
