As alwasy I don't know what I am talking about, but I ran into this link
and thought the testing facilities it offers might be of interest. If nonsense,
please disregard.

Test

       A set of offerings which allow Linux developers to prove the application works on Intel and all
       IBM platforms.


        Offerings

             Proof of Concept

              Verify and demonstrate that your solution works in your customer's business
              environment

             Porting

              Use IBM to help to get your Linux application up and running on Intel, RS/6000 and
              S/390 platforms

             Migration

              Get access to the latest levels of software to ensure that your solution keeps working

             Remote Testing

              The centres also offer remote application testing facilities through the Netfinity
              Server-Proven program and the S/390 Linux Centre of Competence, allowing Linux
              developers wishing to port or test their application to access IBM systems via the
              Internet rather than visiting an IBM centre.

              They are provided by the Solution Partnership Centers in association with the S/390
              Linux Centre of Competence in Boeblingen, Germany. These centres help developers
              port, enable, test and market their applications on IBM platforms. They give access to
              the latest IBM hardware and software, secure porting labs, tailored configuration
              support, expert assistance and education. Services available through the SPCs include
              proof of concept, porting, and migration.

        Note that you must be a member of PartnerWorld for Developers to access these services. 

        For full details of these services, with details of how to access them, follow this link to the
        Solution Partnership Centers.

             Perform scalability tests to analyse the behaviour of your solution under various
             circumstances
