As per the release check list that Derick and Ilia wrote up [1] we now
have something called "primary testers". This is a list of projects per
php branch that will get directly notified of php RC's. We have one for
PHP 4.x [2], 5.x [3] and 6.x [4].
I disagree with you in that respect, I received a fair amount of input
from our test projects. One of the responses lead to a resolution of a
nasty bug affecting smarty templating system and through it the project
being tested. If we get A LOT of feedback it means our release is badly
broken ;-).
Ah great! Last time I checked back with Derick the feedback was minimal.
Anyways I remember some discussions about this on internals (or maybe it
was a PEAR meeting) about what platforms to support. Obviously this is a
question on what the developers focus and also on what we test on.
I see no reason to add limits on the supported platforms, the bottom
line if you can compile PHP on your platform of choice it is technically
supported.
Ok, I probably did not word things optimally. I guess the focus was more
on getting more platforms in the test setup.
gcov shows code coverage it does not tell if you the code is working or
not. If anything it is a tool to help devise tests that would examine as
much code behavior as possible.
But the way I read the reports we also get the test results as a "side
benefit" including valgrind.
