Formal document testing is an excellent idea. I have never seen it nor
been subject to it.
That is, my docs are sometimes reviewed for accuracy, lessons tested,
etc., as part of the product QA process. But, there is no specific
documentation testing.
Who is doing it? How large are your companies? When in your production
cycle does it occur and how long does it take? What gets tested? Etc.?

document
testing, but that's the subject of another discussion.
