You need to justify the extra time spent on writing test code.
From the perspective of someone who once thought this way, and then
dug in and did Behaviour Driven Development, I can tell you the time
is entirely justified: by better design, more maintainable code,
higher confidence when speaking to customers, high visibility of
progress toward completion, freedom to refactor code when it needs it,
and many other benefits.
David, here's another way to convince yourself you have the time:
For the next week, count how many times you repeat the same "hand-test"
of some code on a subsequent version. Think of how much time that can
add up to if you no longer do that; you had-tesing time is subtracting
from the time you have to do unit tests.
