Proper URL rewriting must be thoroughly tested (preferably in a staging environment). Just checking the response status codes of the pre-migration URLs is not enough, because sometimes redirections go to the wrong final URL. Old URLs can return a 301 redirection status code and still redirect to the wrong final URL.
