It handles the process of automatically downloading, running, verifying and testing various applications under Wine, against previously verified Windows behavior. It can test for regressions of popular applications/features, as well as making sure bugs aren't subtly fixed. The wrapper script handles fresh WINEPREFIX's, winetricks dependencies, timeouts of runaway/hung tests, and parsing of the output logs.
I've just given this a cursory look but I like it. I think what we need to do to insure that its used and that scripts are kept up to date is encourage wine appdb submission of scripts for applications that are listed as gold/platinum. My thinking is that if we get good scripts in appdb then the app maintainer wont have to carry all the work of regression testing it at each release. If someone finds a regression they can use the script to save time as they rollback and test prior winehq releases and work with that app advocate to track down the issue.
