It will be great to have more people involved on this.

It is quite simple to integrate a new test. Open one (or more) of the
datasets in python/plugins/processing/tests/testdata and run an
algorithm with the output redirected to the subfolder expected below
aforementioned testdata (preferably in gml format).

Manually verify that the result corresponds with what you would expect
from it. If it does not or if there's an error in the log, fix the
algorithm and restart. If everything is ok, go to the history, right
click the entry and generate the test. Copy the generated text to the
file testdata/algorithm_tests.yaml in the abovementioned folder.
Commit/push and make a pull request, so we can see if travis is happy
with the change as well.

Best
Matthias
