I know Travis has JUnit integration and thanks to Android Studio, +the only easy way to debug Cordova without copying and pasting code out of a generated project is to open the test project. There should be no excuse to not write tests since it's harder/more annoying to use the CLI when working on platforms, since you need to make sure you copy everything you changed.
