But a lot of problems are involved: Such a tool must be developed or adapted and maintained. And collecting data in such a way is not enough. You need a good and easy to understand reporting tool. And at least you need volunteers which have hardware and time and are willing to share such resources. A small step in this direction of 'continious integration' could be the use of mozillas thinderbox. I think it would be a great step forward. BTW, are the any tests for the base system to check what all tools works properly?
