Not sure what you mean. The only tests we have are the unit tests. We do not have access to the Java EE 7 TCKs. In terms of this release, I am personally happy if the unit tests pass on all three platforms I have available. I'm keen to get wider feedback from our users and that needs a formal release. In terms of the alpha -> beta -> stable transition, I plan on including beta in the options once we have an RC that doesn't have any show stopper issues. i.e. I'm expecting 8.0.0 to be beta. For beta -> stable, that will depend on the rate and severity of bug reports we get. My guess it stable will be early next year but who knows. Tomcat is pretty stable already and then unit tests seem to be doing a good job catching issues with the new functionality so maybe it could be sooner.
