Is there any solution to be found through analogy with established fields' relationship between engineering and research disciplines? How, for instance, do physicists share formal models which rocket engineers might apply? Certainly the physicists aren't out developing unit tests for engines which apply their theory, but nor are the engineers exasperated by physicists rejecting their standardized tools (I imagine?).

On conferences you get to know the latest stuff that is going on and the implementation details can be found in papers. What needs to be said though is that reimplementing something from a paper is near impossible. I had to do that a couple of times and I was only fully successful if the paper was accompanied by some open source code as there always are tiny little edge cases or initialization details that won't be covered in the paper.
