When you compile postgresql from sources, after make is done, you can run make
check which runs lots of tests to make sure that it works according to design.

After that, you can use it for development and production. If you find a bug,
submit a bug report to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.

There is no special testing team. The user base is the testing team..:-)
