Don't wait until the end of a project to write tests. It doesn't work.
Writing tests is never urgent, but it is very important. Devotees of Stephen Covey will tell you this puts it smack in the middle of quadrant two: things that are important but not urgent.

Who would?

I've seen this happen several times, especially when people don't have a lot of experience writing tests.
People start out the project with the intention to test as they go, or write them first. But then their tests take time to write, they panic, and stop testing. They justify it by saying they'll put in the tests *after* everything is working.
