I thought the format of the information presented on this site would make the information hard to consume, but for some reason, it was the opposite.

It is also worth noting this seems like it relates to the way hardware RTL (VHDL/Verilog) designers basically build and test their systems. I think that software developers in general have a few things to learn from the hardware guys about testing.

People say that a lot, but do you have any concrete suggestions?

I find there's a big difference between testing when it's half your budget (HW), and when it's 10 or 20% (SW).

(tl;dr Verilog itself is non-deterministic)
