Most of our dev work is done on Linux. We also get reports from the
Cisco Jenkins farm which has a number of different platforms on it, so
if we break something we generally know about it quite quickly for these
platforms:

During the actual release process itself I check the build on Linux and
on Windows.

Anything else is more reactive based on reports of problems coming in as
and when they occur. Some of the dev team have access to specific
platforms that they test on an occasional basis (e.g. Richard checks VMS
regularly).
