It's certainly possible to do automated testing with Launchpad, but I'm afraid I 
don't know any firm details.  I have asked a question via AskUbuntu that will 
hopefully result in some productive answers:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/608379/how-do-i-add-automatic-testing-of-merge-proposals-to-a-launchpad-project

... and the Launchpad API docs are here:
https://help.launchpad.net/API

I did also find the following blog post on integrating Jenkins and Launchpad, 
but it's not really detailed enough to be useful:
https://qualityhour.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/continuous-integration-with-jenkins-and-launchpad/

I'll keep looking into it and let you know when I have any more directly useful 
info (I have limited internet access at the moment, so not able to chase up on 
this as readily as I'd like).
