He mentions that in the video - there's a list of stereotypical behaviors, when X happens the worm turns around, etc. Having the simulation behave the same way would be a good sign.

He also mentions zapping neurons to see what happens without them; though I'm less sure if that is to be used as an additional test of model validity, or just as a way to figure out which neurons do what.
