If I was to guess (and I mean guess) -- they could refer to internal employee testing.  Many companies use training software to bring new employees up to speed.  With Google's rapid growth (across cities and countries), this could be their way to maintain break-neck hiring speeds and keep knowledge transfer to new employees as smooth as possible.
