That's fun… :) I was wondering if this could help us be more proactive in 
fixing our tests (especially the flickering ones) or if it wasn't going to help 
at all and instead cause more troubles.

The good part is that it creates new jira only for new tests that fail so it 
may not be that bad. The bad part is that if we have false positives we'll need 
to close those jira as won't fix thus leading to extra maintenance (even though 
we've excluded most if not all real false positives already). 

I'm actually worried about the case when someone commits an error that affects 
all tests and suddenly you have 600 tests failing and thus 600 new jiras 
created :)

So while the idea seemed attractive, I think it could cause us more problems 
than advantages. Too bad because right now almost nobody in our team (except 
Marius) is fixing flickering functional tests and we need to have stable tests 
as the norm… (that being said the build is still failing in lots and lots of 
places as of now :( Even commons and platform are failing…).

Thanks
