"testing in production" can be controversial, but this is a well-balanced take on it.
lately i've been working on a decentralized production testing network called 'valet network' [1] (full-disclosure: selenium creator here)
i suspect production tests are the killer app for this kind of network: test any site on a real device from anywhere on idle devices that more closely match real world conditions, but as mentioned in the article, it's not that simple. dev users will still need to be smart about creating test data and filtering out the tests from system logs. i'm still in the "is this something people want?" learning phase, even though this is definitely something i want and wish i had when i was helping to fix healthcare.gov back in 2013/2014.
