...running in the background,? with the tests being able to pick up if faulty changes to the code have been accidentally introduced ?

I saw a case where the "master control program" was on read-only media, then the program was modified so that it could write data to the media, but a faulty change was made
(so that the program could corrupt itself).

If there had been a policy of running background test code, this might have been picked up.
