Simple answer, unit tests.
I addressed this in some of my other replies, but I do not believe unit tests are a good solution here. It's way too common for developers to write tests that give false positives, and its very common for organizations to have low or insufficent coverage due to the higher cost associated with testing.
Tests are good to have as backup though.
