In my view, the idea of escalating the amount of work has a pitfall, which is this: The manager isn't really looking for 100% perfect code. He or she is looking for someone who promises 100% perfect code, and can thus be blamed when a bug crops up. If you don't fulfill this function, she'll find someone else who will. The boss wants to play the game of demanding unrealistic promises.

there is another pitfall, which is you come up with a scheme where every hour of dev is matched by 8h of testing and your managers reaction to this is "good".

(ps you probably should do 8h of testing for every hour of dev)
