Autopilot GTK review:
Totem: simple testcase, could use expansion. Format playback support, Playlist support, UI/menu buttons
Nautilus: toolbar is not visible in autopilot; limiting bug. UI/menu buttons. Bookmarking, samba/server connection
Fileroller: contains hack to add files; needs fixed
Firefox: uses process manager
Chromium: help enable upstream tests
Thunderbird: what testing is occuring?
Deja-dup: still needs case
Transmission: still needs case
Network manager: probably not an autopilot test
Empathy: online accounts issue; needs more work
Expanding into non-default applications
pidgin
gnumeric
abiword

Ubiquity review:
Testcases covered:

Running fine, ubuntu one sign on page bug (should be fixed soon)

needs:
dual boot test / crazier partitioning
reinstall, saving /home / upgrades
non-english install
 make sure we aren't grabbing english labels; use objects as much as possible
non-network install / wifi / ethernet

core apps:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps/Testing
Apps to look at for adding tests
calendar
rss reader
doc viewer
music
All apps need converted to ubuntu sdk
All apps need gate reviews turned on (needs to make sure testcases are robust enough to do so)

(?)
