Re: Testing router code before deployment

One of my favourites was inserting and removing configuration commands
and watching
the alignment errors to run by or just a plain crash.
Or if you make the mistake of playing with EIGRP, you'll see the boxen
spit out scheduler
related stuff.

Typically testing for (allegedly) fixed defects and historicial
problems unique to ones environment is normal.
Depending on the level of detail of buglists, etc.. people also
test to insure that there are no reintroduction of old bugs as well
as counter bugs, snmp issues, etc..

Just curious what testing protocol people use with router code (IOS or
JunOS for example) when considering deployment of a new version. Obviously
the deployment would be made incrementally, but I wonder if you do anything
more than running it in a lab router for a couple of weeks before the
initial deployment.
Thanks
