Related: I think it was Kernighan & Pike's "The Practice Of Programming" where I read the idea of testing a complex implementation by comparing its output against a simpler but less performant implementation.
Interesting thought, somewhat related to the articles on "snapshot testing" that have been trending on HN lately.
