In my experience, it is unfortunately necessary to thoroughly test your program in the three environments (native MacOs8 or 9, Classic under OsX and Osx). Differences exists in :
- menus (specially the first one, as you experiment)
- program icons
- information in the finder "Information" window
- aspects of buttons, scrolling field and palette windows whatever LookAndFeel you choose. For instance, defaut buttons are very nice looking on OsX, but you cannot control several of their properties (colors, for instance).
- some behaviours for pop-up buttons or window activation, applescript ...
and certainly numerous others I have not discovered yet.

Just an example during the first test of the new version of my nutrition shareware : the program closed at launch because "the filename of this stack" does not give (at least apparently) the same result in Classic and OsX.

It was tested on OSX. Beta testers have no way of knowing what your program is supposed to be in your eyes, so they judge by their experience. Nobody thought it to be a bug, therefore it wasn't reported during bug testing. It was reported as an afterthought later.
