[asterisk-dev] About asterisk development plans

[Gavin Henry]

I'm not saying we test every combination at first.

If we say, tested with these settings, this dialplan and these
channels with these pieces of kit. It's a start with a todo list.

This should be a test engineers job eventually to start. Remember,
initially it's a big chunk of work at first, but the benefits are
huge.

Like I said for the OpenLDAP project, we are missings lots, but we
know it works prior to release (sometimes ;-) ).

What is the easiest feature to test?

Thanks.
