Posting our Visual Studio Core Nightly test cases for review on the blogosphere

We're experimenting with posting our Nightly test cases to the public for feedback, improvements, suggestions, etc to get you a more transparent look into our world. On my blog, I posted an entry called What is a Nightly Test Case This will give you a good start into what's a nightly test case and why they are so important.

As with any other wiki, we encourage you to make changes. Make our test cases better. Leave us questions. Thanks!
