How do you define 'test' in this context ? Conceptually, it sounds like
a server, with tests being requests together with expected answers. So
may be you could set up your tests in a way that such a server gets started
by a resource instance, and tests then issue requests to that and compare the
results with expected values ? (But even then, there is no continuous loop.
A test has a finite set of tasks to run before it determines whether it passed
or failed, and a test suite has a finite set of tests...)

I would need more context to be able to make more detailed suggestions.
