I can see managers getting involved into acceptance tests, but never in the other type of tests. And the verification mostly is involved into a quick manual testing/watching a demo. Code is not their concern. When there's a bug, they expect you to investigate and fix it.
Given that it's so easy to generate better than test stubs with a model and manually review what it thinks covers, I think it's fair to expect a manager to run and add to the tests.
If devops has done their job, it should be trivial for a manager to contribute to the tests and run the build on git push (or manually re-run the build with the web UI).
If a manager has deploy rights, they should be able to run the tests.
