you are correct that the BSD's get more complete testing coverage as a percentage of the possible tests that could be run, however to be fair Linux has a MUCH larger range of machiens and conditions that could be tested.

I think it would be a toss up as far as which gets more testing in terms of te number of tests run before release, at least when you consider the testing that the distros make before they make a release (and after all if the *BSD is the entire system, not just the kernel that's the only fair comparison)
