Continuous execution and testing is useful, but its just not good enough. You want to also provide programmers with a decent debugging experience as well, which doesn't happen in a continuous testing framework (something is broken, but what?).

Unit tests each have an assertion message that states what's wrong, and the frameworks should each print the line # & stack trace. My IDE parses that output & highlights the errors in my code too.

Lovely but nothing very new. Does your IDE also allows you to poke around local variables and the call stack while changing code in realtime?
