Isn't that what interns are for? Unscheduled QA in production?
I heard in many large companies, they would create short artificial downtime for internal services, so that user-facing system never rely on a single internal system for resources and data. This prevents large downtime in user facing system when any internal service is down for a large amount of time.
I think a great use of interns is to make these downtime more organic.
Yeah it's called chaos engineering and it can be fun.
