Is there an automated test suite? This type of tool is one of the hardest to test, emulating many hosts and various network conditions between them is a huge challenge. QA is what makes the difference in this heavily saturated market between which software is popular and which is not. Some tool does not work? Switch to another one, problem solved.

Whether the source of the product is available or not, the QA of company-sponsored software is usually unknown. It's like developers write bug-free code by magic (they don't). Maybe that's why so many open-source projects believe tests are not important: they don't realize they have to compete with something they don't know exists :-)

I couldn't find whether Jami uses WebRTC (which would save a lot of QA)

We do indeed have a test suite:

Jami does not use WebRTC, at least not currently. The communication
stack is mainly PJSIP for media + OpenDHT for some messages.
