Yes, to some degree. We have a suite that we run, but we cannot test
everything in Interchange. Skipjack is not tested, though the interface
it uses is.

We don't have the resources to do much more; this is an open-source software
project, and as such we rely on our users to do much of the testing. Want
to adopt the Skipjack module?

I have seen no coherent report of anything concrete. When that
happens, I pay attention. Though I don't read every message posted
to this group, I read most of the ones written and formatted so I
can understand them. 

I read every bug report.
