LTP:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/
may be what you're looking for.
It's very much dependent on having the appropriate hardware to run
the test on, though. I find this often means the end user (me) finds
a kernel error, reports it, and somebody fixes it (on a sunny day).
Props to Alan Cox for recently tracking down an ATI bug on my to-be-
MythTV-box.
It would be nice if hardware vendors could further commit to having a
test box at their facilities with one of each of their products in
them, running LTP coverage. Maybe that's the Silver Level badge, the
Bronze going to supporting a driver developer as mentioned, and the
Gold to doing your own drivers.
