Selenium/Ruby/mwext-mw-selenium Jenkins job

Advantages

 * You are probably already familiar with Gerrit and Jenkins.
 * While the tests are running, you can continue using your machine as usual, because everything is happening in Jenkins.
 * Debugging failed tests will be easier, since you will see the browser, logs, screenshots and video of the test run.
 * It will be reasonable fast.
 * MobileFrontend Selenium test run takes about 5 minutes on my machine.
 * It takes about 5 minutes for mwext-mw-selenium Jenkins job to run for MobileFrontend.

Disadvantages

 * You will need internet connection while running the tests.
 * You might not be familiar with Gerrit or Jenkins, so you will have to learn how to use yet another tool.
