Actually, what I will do with the next release of Rybka is verify every previous
bug report with an acceptance test. For example, if in the past the program gave
non-deterministic behavior for a certain position, my test driver will run the
engine under the two different conditions and verify that the output is the
same.

Without this, it's just too easy to make mistakes.
