Looks interesting -- I'm not that involved with manual tests right
now, so I defer to your technical wisdom here.

As you mentioned, the company is using a "delayed-open-source-release" model:

What this might mean is that we can't (easily) upstream any
changes/improvements to the software. I don't know how much we've
customized MozTrap thusfar, but as long as we keep the source of our
webapps in git (as well as any modifications thereof), I guess we can
re-apply our changes on top of new versions without too much hassle.
We could ask Cloph/Floeff their thoughts on the topic.
