I love all these sorts of tools to automate things on "the machine building the machine"! PHPStorm has this functionality built into the IDE (at least when working with PHP). They call it "auto-test". You can customise the time between save and (re)run of tests as well. Very useful :)

On a related but separate note, you can also add custom file watchers to do things like regenerating static cache files when the source changes.
