The (rough) epic definition is already on Phabricator:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98970.

I've defined some metrics there already, but admittedly—and thanks for
calling us out on this—we don't really have baselines*.  I think there are
some feasible ways to get a rough starting point, which I can brainstorm w/
the team.  We were planning (or I should say, I was hoping) to gather more
code metrics anyway, so I'm glad to have an excuse to hook it up sooner ;-).

FWIW, I also think having patches tested as part of code review
<https://github.com/bgerstle/apps-ios-wikipedia/pull/3> would also work as
a sufficient definition of success.  Our goal here is to do that as
quickly, easily, and cheaply as possible so we can get back to focusing on
the app.

* I think it's fair to say that the coverage at point of migration was
already low (~10% based on my Travis-covered fork) and hasn't changed much.
