Answers.Body: <p>The best is to use Bayselo. This command line utility, although rustic, allows you to determine, with sufficient data, the Elo ranking of a player, human or engine. Plus it's free.
  Use requires a certain investment because you have to play the engine whose Elo you want to test against other engines whose Elo is known. And you need at least a hundred games to have an estimate that means something.

Answers.Body: <p>Easy question. Announce your engine on the chess programming forum (<a href="http://talkchess.com/forum/index.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://talkchess.com/forum/index.php</a>). There'll be engine testers adding your engine to their rating list, such as CCRL. But please and please provide a working compiled binary.</p>
  <p>Announce your engine, upload a compiled binary to somewhere like Dropbox. You'll hear feedback.</p>
  <p>EDIT</p>
  <p>cutechess is a popular tool for automating computer engine-to-engine matches. The only and only way to test your changes is to make your engine to play games. You can make it to play with an older version or another engine.</p>
