It would be extremely beneficial to leverage @rtyley's paparazzo in order to streamline the testing of the numerous combinations of configurations options so that we can ensure certain features are not being missed or more importantly behave differently on different configurations.

Ideally this would be some sort of build server which could automatically create and destroy a large list of device configurations. For each configuration it would then initiate some test suite which merely walked through every example in each sample application performing whatever action was appropriate. We'd leverage paparazzo to capture a screen shot after each action performed to create a quick .gif that could be watched.

It would also be ideal to somehow create a way to compare a single step of the build across every device. Perhaps arranging each screenshot for a step in a very large image that could then be manually stepped through for a high-level view of each step across every config.

While this is a long-term goal, it should be fairly high priority as we currently have no way to test various configurations other than through manual interaction.
