they almost certainly have a hardware spare, or at the very least, an accurately simulated version of it, because again, this is 50 year old hardware. So it’s pretty easy to just simulate it.
But yeah they are almost certainly pulling some really fucked QA on this shit.
I read someplace a while back that the average beginner dev has an error for every 10 lines of code, a working dev, 100, the (I think) US Air Force 1000. NASA (& company )was at a massive single error per 100000 lines of code. I wish I could find that article.

NASA has claimed to have never written a bug in a shipped piece of code from what i can recall off the top of my head.
