(I'm also relatively new here), as part of my GSoC project on testing. I'm using CMake/CTest to make the reports and sending them to CDash. Currently though, only my particular branch is doing this at the moment (to my knowledge), and this is still at a highly experimental phase. I wrote a HOWTO page on how to set it up, but it's not as good as the howtos for the trunk ;) ( http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:LeifAndersen/GSoC2010/Howto ).
