Yes, the UK federation does have a Test SP, details at https://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/TestSP

Our v2 IdP installation documentation included a note about testshib, although our v3 IdP installation page does not mention it. "Installation and configuration of Shibboleth IdP v3 software" is at https://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/Setup3IdP

Agreed, and we outline the steps to do this in "Integration of a new install of a Shibboleth v3 IdP into the UK federation to replace a Shibboleth v2 IdP" at https://www.ukfederation.org.uk/content/Documents/FreshIdPv3
