Hy Rudy,

concerning TYPO3 wec has a test-script, what could perhaps beeing 
improved or extended.
concernig the servers many things could beeing testet by the script too 
and for a certificat it should randomly loop over the whole year.
So Hardware, Performance and Software can be tested all the time.
Furthermore the failure- and the trafficrate of the servers should apply 
to standard or better.

Best regards
David
