Because I might get a financial grant to support ESPEasy (more on this later), it's possible for me to order all kinds of hardware and create: THE RIG(tm).

The rig will consist of several common ESP8266's, and a ESP8285. Connected to these ESP's will be a lot of the most commonly used sensors and other hardware. Some ESP's might be connected to each other to test some other things like GPIO or pulsecounters. All the ESP's wil be connected to a server so they can be flashed and configured easy. Serial output will also be logged.
When this setup is complete it's also possible to create a bunch of automated regressions tests: For example compare the outputs of several temperature and humidity sensors. The plan is to automated most of the tests and let the rig run 24/7 to test stability and reliability.
After this I might setup a bunch of controllers so we also can test these as well.
Having a test-rig makes it possible to do some changes that have a huge impact, and test if everything still works. Currently we sometimes have to wait for other people to test stuff and report problems.
Maybe its usefull to give some developers access to test-machine that is connected to these ESP's, so that they can test stuff as well.
What do you guys think of this? Any suggestions?
