[ros-dev] System for manual regression testing

[Aleksey Bragin]

I think the similar way - bugzilla can handle everything we need:  
bugs, regressions, etc. And it provides one "window" through which  
anyone can see all currently outstanding problems.

WaxDragon - what do you think about utilising some tool like scmbug?
Testing guide would be very cool too.
