A brand new "in-litmus" flag has been added to (most) bugs in Bugzilla. For those of you who are familiar with the "in-testsuite" flag, "in-litmus" will work almost the same way, but for those of you aren't, here's a brief overview.

The "in-testsuite?" flag should be used for bugs that need testcases for an automated test harness like reftest, xpcshell, or Mochitest. Once a test gets checked in, the flag should be set to "in-testsuite+" to let everyone know this bug has some sort of test that runs regularly on the tinderboxes. For the most part, developers should be responsible for writing these tests.

On the other hand, the "in-litmus?" flag should be used when a bug needs to be tested, but cannot be (easily) tested using one of our existing test harnesses. These tests should go in Litmus. For example, something like bug 381801, which requires visual confirmation that an alert appears when a download completes.

So, feel free to flag bugs with "in-litmus?" if you think they need a Litmus testcase and also don't forget to set "in-litmus+" when you check in a testcase to Litmus. And for those who want to write Litmus testcases, you can use this Bugzilla query to easily find bugs which need them.
