You mean you have written an application and haven't been testing it
throughout?

Probable answer: Yes, life happens. People have also been known to write applications without a detailed Test Plan in a detailed Software Specification. :))

automatically the app instead of going through the guide to learn how
to make my app scriptable.


If you have plans to make your app scriptable someday, and your release schedule allows it, then, sure, consider making it scriptable now and use it to test -- I've dreamed of doing this.

Or use Kyle's idea of writing some kind of importer.

Although Unit Testing is not geared toward initial testing a new application, since you had enough time to ask the question, reading through this would probably help your decision-making process:

Like Kyle said, there is no "correct" answer. It depends on your situation. Just don't throw it over the cubicle wall to the Test Department.
