I don't know if this can be found already on mdn (I don't think I could find it), but it would be nice if there would be very specific instruction on how to run gaia UI tests on b2g Desktop builds (on various platforms). Also for Mulet.

This is what I need to use to run b2g desktop tests on MacOSX:
gaia_clean mwargers$ DEVICE_DEBUG=1 && gaiatest --binary=/Users/mwargers/Downloads/B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/b2g-bin --profile /Users/mwargers/Downloads/B2G.app/Contents/Resources/gaia/profile/   --testvars /Users/mwargers/B2G/testvars_home.json --gecko-log=/Users/mwargers/B2G/gecko.log --restart --log-mach=bug1099985.log --log-mach-level=debug tests/python/gaia-ui-tests/gaiatest/tests/functional/homescreen/test_homescreen_delete_app.py


Also, it would be good to have very specific instructions on how to run gaia UI tests on your own built b2g desktop build (with your own built profile).
This is also useful when developers try to run gaia UI tests locally to hunt down failures caused by their patches (like bug 1118946).
