This is the package test plan thing - the QA docs on it are at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_package_test_plan_creation . I
usually use xorg-x11-drv-nouveau updates as a handy example of it in
action. You can create a test case for a package and add it to the
category Category:Package_(packagename)_test_cases (where 'packagename'
is the .src.rpm name), and it will show up in Bodhi like this.
