We actually made a company to do other people's testing: http://CircleCI.com. Really easy Continuous Integration for web apps. Email paul@circleci.com for a beta invite.

That said, I subscribe to the philosophy that testing is only there to support the business, not and end in itself. We often prototype features with no testing at all, because they get rewritten 3 times anyway. Often, writing the tests is what highlights flaws in our logic, so without it we would often we flying blind.

Testing slows down coding by about 135% (yes, more than twice as slow), but makes that time back in spades when you have to work on the same code again, or when changing lower layers (models, libraries, etc).
