Testing router code before deployment

Thu Nov 21 20:06:13 UTC 2002

	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..
