Thanks for Nino's thoughts :) The following is some of the further comments of
Moztrap. As a replacement for Litmus
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Litmus), Moztrap is promising for the
future of regression test
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test)
to go, currently we have a working Moztrap instance here:

http://vm12.documentfoundation.org/

Ideally the tool will make the individual "silent testing" visible for anyone
else, so that we will know which kind of tests have been done by other QA
people.

The Moztrap is in its experiments phase, we are now in the progress to
evaluate the system, gather information and feedback from people to see if
there are critical problems brought by the new tool. Please see the series of
announcement mails in libreoffice-qa mailing list titled with *[ANN] Moztrap
evaluation online - xxxxxx*.
