Without any testing tools available, it is quite possible that developers want to ensure the quality of their code, but don't have the means of doing so.]
Starting about a week ago, parser test results are now included in code review listings for development trunk:

Regressions are now quickly noted and fixed up within a few revisions -- something which didn't happen when they were only being run manually by a few folks here and there.
Is this the sort of thing you're thinking of?
