Description
Currently play own tests are executed in DEV mode.
Thus they will not catch any errors that happen only in PROD mode (for example, see issue https://github.com/playframework/play1/pull/1152).
I believe we should run play tests in PROD mode. It will give stronger confidence that application works in production as in test.

Research direction
Start by locating Play's own test runner and the entry point used for precompiled-mode tests; inspect how DEV and PROD modes are selected. Run the existing Play tests in both modes and confirm that the suite runs in PROD mode while retaining its current coverage.
