Usually I don't write any unittests but only integration tests for Plone 
using PTC. That's what I am talking about. Usually I don't write unittests 
for AT/Plone boilerplate code...you test it one time and it works. More 
important are integration tests and they really take more or less the same 
amount of startup time.
