Acceptance tests for Jenkins

A project to flesh out some of the manual test cases for Jenkins LTS in an automated fashion.

Following areas are still worked on:

• Vagrant-based JenkinsController implementations

master	stable

Getting Started

Let's start by running tests locally with JENKINS_WAR=path/to/your/jenkins.war mvn test. This runs the entire test suite with the specified Jenkins war and Firefox, so it will take a while.

Set BROWSER=chrome and install http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list in $PATH if desired. (But tests may fail.)

There is a bit of a delay since we bring up Jenkins for every single test, with it's own sandboxed workspace.
