Most new extensions are tested on their own "labs" site or on
testwiki, the Usability initiative is special because it has tons of
different improvements and has its own domain. :-)

Here's a list of the current "labs" wikis:
* http://de.labs.wikimedia.org/ -- I'm pretty sure this was for
testing FlaggedRevs for dewiki
* http://en.labs.wikimedia.org/ -- general testing platform
* http://flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org/ -- FlaggedRevs for enwiki
* http://liquidthreads.labs.wikimedia.org/ -- LiquidThreads
* http://readerfeedback.labs.wikimedia.org/ -- ReaderFeedback

It's important to note that although Vector has been deployed, that
doesn't mean that the Usability Initiative is done.  The Usability
team still has quite a few releases prepared, like code collapsing, a
TOC in the editing window, and more.  The "releases" page on Usability
wiki <http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Releases> lists a lot of
these changes, but I'm not sure how up-to-date the timeline is.
