The automated testing is now on, and there are a few test builds. The
link is provided as a comment authored by the Kitware Robot providing
a link to a filtered set of CDash results in the topic submitted. See
http://review.source.kitware.com/#/t/18/ for an example, unfortunately
the content checks tend to be submitted a little later and so it is
not always the most recent comment.
