From earlier meetings of the council, I know that IBM/Transarc is
currently not planning to be forthcoming with any qualitative info
about their tests. I suspect their tests are only barely more
sophisticated than shovelling - given some of the bugs that appeared
in the 3.6 release.
Still, we would benefit if we could at least learn what issues they
did test for. I'm sure the topic will come up again at the next
meeting of the council.
