Pardon my ignorance, but by automated testing you mean a CI server
with presubmits, nightlys, and things of the sort?

If that's the case, KUnit could be helpful because of the low resource
cost in running them and the speed at which they run. There are some
other features we would like to add which would help with that goal as
well like test isolation. We actually have a presubmit server
internally for running KUnit tests that can usually respond to patches
with test results within a couple minutes. Would something like that
be interesting?
