Hi Brendan,

It's indeed somthing we think about since some time ... But nothing has 
been written yet: nor thoughts, nor code.

It's not so rare we commit things that break some fonctionalities. 
Making some automated tests would prevent that, and help keeping Gajim 
not too brocken.

So clearly there is an interest in this !
Starting with everyday and most common features, like opening chat 
window and sending a message, sounds reasonable.
