 @5d859d2e testing it by running it and clicking around or whatever, then eventually encoding those behaviors as tests once they stabilize

 @8bb49bc2 okay, so you end up with developer tests, or do you mean regression tests?

 @5d859d2e yeah the tests are written by the developers, usually near the end or at least after the midpoint of the project. A number of them are regression tests of a sort, if particularly tricky bugs were encountered during development.
