Say the usa and soviet union in cold war. History has records of incidents were dalse alarms (including one from the sun) almost started nuclear armageddon.
How did they keep testing missiles (ICBM) with longer and longer ranges without it being detected as a real missle?
Not to mention there are still states that are neighbored by hostile countries and still manage to do their ICBM tests with ranges encompassing multiple continents. How do they manage it?

Communication
Every missile test and rocket launch is publicized with a listed trajectory and launch window because they all look like real missiles because they are!
If the US wants to test a Trident missile out they’ll put out a public statement saying what they’re launching, when they’re launching, what is it’s end target, and what corridor will it travel in. Any deviation in these parameters is cause for concern by potential targets
But each and every sizable rocket launch triggers the launch detection satellites in orbit which watch for big heat signatures of rocket/missile launches
