Indeed, IMO both approaches have drawbacks.  WRT effort, I'd say that the 
WebAdmin developer could then focus on other functionalities like the 
usability of the UI.

If self test is developed by the same developer of the service, then self 
test coverage (are all conditions correctly tested?) should probably be 
audited by the testing team.
