During the initial development of ON CONFLICT, speculative insertion
itself was tested using custom stress testing that you can still get
here:
https://github.com/petergeoghegan/jjanes_upsert
I'm not sure that this is something that you can adopt, but I
certainly found it very useful at the time. It tests whether or not
there is agreement among concurrent speculative inserters, and whether
or not there are "unprincipled deadlocks" (user hostile deadlocks that
cannot be fixed by reordering something in application code).
