My two cents follow: I can't stand the very sight of people making a script or 
class executable for the sake of testing - main() methods and the like are 
supposed to execute a standalone program, and that's that. If you want to 
test, then do it properly, create a separate hierarchy of files with unit 
tests. It's just as easy, if not easier to write, and you don't clutter your 
business logic with test code.
