We[1] had the concept of a health-check in LAVA that ran once a day on 
every device in our lab. We just took a known good image for a device 
and did a flash, boot, run simple test. This was really handy for:

 * spotting devices going bad (we had sd-cards and those suck)
 * validating code/infrastructure updates. After upgrading LAVA we
   ran a health-check on every device before allowing them to accept
   jobs.

I think this would be a good idea for us. Not sure if we could make it 
work as well since Jenkins doesn't seem to have built-in scheduling 
logic around this.
