You don't have to do it everyday :-) Let me explain a little how it
works. When we test a specific milestone, like for example the mesa
testing right now, we're testing a specific build with the goal of
verifying it as stable and ready for general consumption. Images are
tested this way too -- when we have a specific milestone like an alpha
or beta. At the start of the milestone, the image is frozen and tested.
If we find bugs we need to fix, we'll rebuild the image and yes, we need
new results against the new image we built when that happens. The old
builds will be archived and available under the history link.
However, the daily images are built automatically everyday no matter
what. We test against them as a checkup to ensure things are running
smooth, but we're not trying to release a specific daily until we freeze
it, make a milestone and call for specific testing. Many folks test the
image occasionally to see what's new, spot regressions or bugs, etc. We
do intentionally test the images as part of our cadence testing, but
again, that's once every couple weeks, not everyday.
So let's give some examples so you can see this in action. Again take a
look at mesa:
http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/266/builds
There's only one build. Go ahead and click the "See removed and
superseded builds too
<http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/266/history>" link.
It will only show the one build.
Now, try the same thing on unity testing from a few weeks ago:
http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/262/builds
You'll notice the last build pushed has no results -- but we did test
it! The results are linked to the older builds. Click the "See removed
and superseded builds too
<http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/262/history>" link
again. Noticed all the builds and results?
Make sense?

So you are saying that I should complete all the test procedure for a
particular testcase because a new image will be uploaded everyday?

Istimsak, I see what happened :-) New builds are posted daily, and
it won't show your results on today's build. If you want to see
them you'll need to look at yesterday's build:
Here's your results from 4/7, 4/8, and 4/9 :-)

Does this make sense?

I started the testcase for kubuntu raring i386 and completed the
"install to entire drive" procedure. When I looked back at the
testcase to continue the test, I noticed the kubuntu testcase did
not record my test. Is there a reason for that?
