Rust does this with cargobomb: https://brson.github.io/2017/07/10/how-rust-is-tested

> Rust has a standard testing facility that most Rust crates use, and Rust has a standard repository of Rust crates in crates.io. GitHub further contains repositories of Rust crates that are not published to crates.io.

> These factors allow us to treat the entire world of open source Rust code as our test suite.

> As new nightlies and betas are published, we use the cargobomb tool to test this corpus of Rust code (as of 2017/07/10 over 13,000 crates) against both the stable release and a nightly or beta release, comparing the results for regressions.
