I think Casper's talking about the PIT (Pre-Integration Test).  Every
bi-weekly build gets run through the PIT.  Large projects are often
required to do a PIT run prior to integration.

The downside to putting the tests into the PIT is that problems might
not get detected until several days after the offending putback.
Running the tests as part of "make check" (for example), means they'll
get detected more quickly.
