I assume that they are using simulators.
Then they put them on land, and throw a missile at them (i guess that they remove it's warhead)
And then put it as small boats, and test it by having the boat staying stationary, then moving forward, backward, full speed, low speed, changes in movement etc (should be separate tests for each movement)
And then lets not forget they test with on different weather conditions, test on night etc
Testing is science by itself..
The target missile would be programed to fly over the ship or test platform. I remember during an exercise a Ticonderoga failed to intercept one while that specific missile also has some sort of malfunction failing to avoid the ship and instead poking a hole on Tico's super structure. Though I don't know how would this translate in this case as high speed debris is a concern. Maybe it requires a new type of target that don't produce much debris when hit.

It's actually xx090 rounds per minute and xx376 rounds per minute, if it's that many rounds per second that would be even more insane

My bad. I meant per minute.

Anywhere between 00 and 99.
There was a great site on the internet with great info in english about russian naval gun systems with articles and tables illustrating how they were superior to western naval guns of their time. I had it bookmarked years ago but I cannot find it now.
