Given the question isn't specifically about CF, the answer depends on
the requirements the software being tested/analysed. Certainly, VMware
will allow you to create multiple configuration variants for testing
and anlaysis. But, if you want to go live just after the software is
released, you'll need to be on the Beta or even Alpha program in order
to answer those questions and do your testing and analysis.

All the stuff about avoiding a single point of failure applies with upgrades 
too.

Its another reason for having three physical servers.

 Upgrading software versions: what's best practice?
 
 This isn't specifically about CF (although I'm curious how Adobe
 handles multiple version upgrades: do they have a CF11 and CF12
 development environment running now in addition to CF10?)
 
 I've come across a situation where people want to include
 functionality, scoped for a 2012 upgrade, into the development and
 testing environment of the 2011upgrade (due later this year).
 
 why?
 
 So it can be made available to other BAs/testers etc for testing and
 analysis.
 
 any thoughts?
 
 thanks
 B

Its another reason for having three physical servers.

hang on, you're throwing me a bit here.

Steve.O might be on the right track (use VM to create/throw away
environments - although that in itself means packages/enhancements
need to placed against the 2011 and 2012 environments: bits can get
overlooked)

but the core question is: what software should make up the 2011
upgrade? code/functionality that's slated for the 2012 upgrade as well
as 2011?
