On the test result page, you can "Vet Result". We have lots of community members aiding us on the calendar project, and many of them are not native English speakers. The "Vet Result" wording for this action is not immediately intuitive to them, and it has been something that we have had to explain several times.  It might be better to use something more akin to the bugzilla wording, such as "Verify Result". 

Of course, this only has to be explained once, so perhaps the proper idea would be to create a tooltip for this button that explains the action.  This may be all that is needed.  I want to leave the implementation details up to the Litmus crew.

Either way, we simply need to better explain this functionality in the UI for our community members. (Currently we do this via a documentation page that we are working on at: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:QA_Procedures_For_Litmus.
