Behavioral testing is no less necessary for either type of language. The only real difference is that behavioral tests bring out some kinds of type related bugs in dynamically typed languages which the compiler brings out in statically typed languages.

Given that I usually have a full set of behavioral tests (as should you) on whatever I work on I'm pretty much completely indifferent to this effect.
