How dodoes a software developer know if the intendedtarget hardware is fast enough to run the software?

I wonder howHow do software developers manage to know if their software will run on the target hardware they are developing to? Many developers today work on machines much faster thenthan the intended platform. What kind of tools do they use to understand when they are going overboard?

I'm asking from the perspective where you for example develop algorithms on a modern x86 in a GNU/Linux environment but the intended platform is an much slower Arm, still in GNU/Linux.
