Usually we write tests for each change now. (In the past it was
different, so not all aspects of the compiler are covered by the
testsuite yet, but new changes should be.) In addition, we add bug
reports we receive and interesting cases we stumble upon ...

Almost the same situation -- the documentation itself is not
complete, but for new features we add at least minimal documentation
(while slowly trying to fill the existing gaps).
