He is using testnet as well. In fact he's just been working on NXT testnet at the request of many. I'm guessing you haven't read the thread thus far. He's doing a good job so far and lots of people are interested in seeing more of his attempts.
This type of thing is critical for PoS to really be considered a robust consensus system. Actually it's not great that it's taken this long for some good public stress testing/attacks. Anyone interested in the idea of PoS should be supporting people who can help strengthen it.

I'm not saying that I fully agree with how this "stress testing" is being done, but am glad to actually see it done sooner than later. Just imagine if this wasn't pointed out, flaws of P.O.S. in 100's of coins till there was Millions of people holding 100's of wallets not opened for months? Not many people can sit back & think about how many things in the world are "stress tested", creating something more reliable & stable. Just think about a world without "stress testing", the wheel would still be just a wheel & break from the slightest bump
