Of course providing tests will only be effective when there's also a rule
of not accepting changes beaking any of the tests, and that's only effective
when there's a continuous monitoring of testsuite runs. All of that is likely
yet to be defined by the new Testing and QA Manager.

Speaking of which, the psc page describes the roles but there's no link
to the currently appointed person for each role:

(nor links to contextualize the path that brings there from the homepage)
