I think the ProtoShares good enought coin to have
TestNet implementation. Unfortunatelly it's wasn't implemented from begining and I don't think I need to explain here the advantages of TestNet support which we missed.
Now we have it implemented!
I already submit pull request to official ProtoShares repository and think it's will be accepted soon:
https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares/pullsTo test TestNet functionality I use build-in ProtoShares miner and GetWork Coyote Miner 0.3.0:

You can download precompiled Windows binary with TestNet from:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dt9m8x98z5jfgji/protoshares-0.4.0-testnet.zipMD5 of zip is 82f62d45657a352daa6147bc0eaddd7b
To run ProtoShares client in TestNet use command:
protoshares-qt.exe -testnet
Default TestNet RPC port is
13838. Because Coyote Miner 0.3.0 doesn't support port settings you need to add folowing lines into your
protoshares.conf:
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=3838
When you can run Coyote Miner 0.3.0 as:
gw_miner.exe <IP address of wallet machine> user password
Coyote Miner 0.3.0 sometimes crashes, you can workaround this using
.bat file:
:start
gw_miner.exe <IP address of wallet machine> user password
goto start
