Is there a way to test a motor so your craft does not fail in mid flight?

This is not an issue with a hexacopter but on quads it would be useful to be able to do so. That way your day is not ruined because your bird fell out of the sky.
 
I'm not sure it would help. Typically things fail along a bell shaped curve against MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). Testing will just eat up MTBF.

More often than not, things fail under the stress of use, not when testing. You might have an intermittent failure or some sound behavior as an indicator to the lead up to failure but in general, they typically just fail.

I have yet to see testing reveal a failure I wasn't already aware of.
