Derr so you can be sure the output is correct? You don't run tests in a live environment when you're trying to quality check a product... that's QA 101. You run your tests against a known good data set with known results and compare what you get from the unit.
I totally agree with you two, but you don't need to run that for days on end it's a machine once you see once that it's giving you the results you want, you know it won't give you bad results unless the device fails for some other reason after. After a run on a tester for quality control, running it on live environment would both continue to test the device and aliviate running costs, since device failure is higher shortly after production then after it's been in operation for a while and they cost less to run than what they make in the same period.
