I assume that you have a checklist of tests and run them manually. Is it
not possible to run the tests automatically because of there nature? Or
is it only because the framework is missing? The advantage of automated
tests would be, that together with rpm VCS support (scripts), you could
even run after each commit to even faster spot bugs:

1) commit upstream
2) build new rpm
3) apply AutoQA to the rpm
