Well, it's not a lot of people willing to run beta software on their
phone system. Phones need to work and for most people they need to work
perfectly all the time. I'm one of those oddities that will always run
beta software if given the chance but my experience is that quite rare.
I am not saying using production servers to test, rather reproducing your
production setups in a test environment. You would then create test plans
or test cases of the features you use in Asterisk. Once documented, for
each and every RC of Asterisk you go through the steps outlined in your test
plan / case, confirming this work as expected and then documenting the
results.
Not everyone has spare dahdi hardware / analog T circuits, but I agree.
Yes, so in that scenario test cases / plans should be generic as
possible so the underlying channel technology does not matter.
I realize certain situations or feature will require DAHDI hardware, and
that is fine. People with the spare equipment can report back results if
possible. However a test case which is create to verify app_voicemail
can (as should) be run against all channel types; with the results
documented as required.
