Reading your Activities page [1], I have seen that you use Application
Testing as Regression Testing.

"Application Testing is the manual testing of specific things (test
cases) in particular applications that shouldn't break from one release
to the next."

I think in activities this should be called Manual Regression Testing,
pointing to a page which explains what is regression testing and linking
testcases.qa.ubuntu.com as possible test cases.

What do you think?

Ara.
