In the linux model that's left to the distributions. In fact doing it properly
takes months. You wouldn't want to wait months for a new mainline kernel.

Formal testing is not really compatible with "release early, release often" 

You could do things like "run LTP first", but in practice LTP rarely finds
bugs.
