Then they count the beans and say: This version is 14 ELO stronger/weaker than the predecessor. Use it/Throw it. With this method they absolutely have no chance to find or even see e.g. the time control bug in Junior 8. Sad, isn't it? But it is all partly our own fault. Everyone's crying for fast results after an engine has been released. This is only possible when playing very short time controls. So you want it, you get it. You want fastfood, no problem, they produce fastfood. And beta-test fastfood. :-))
