Read my comment below. It's not about users understanding the program per se, it's about testers having the domain knowledge to perform meaningful tests.
Without that domain knowledge, the testers may find implementation bugs, but they won't expose the issues caused by the developer's lack of understanding. The latter is almost always more valuable to find and more difficult to fix.

And getting a person on the team, even freelance, whose job it is to push for tests, might help. Going off another tangent, getting not a generic tester, but a domain expert who's also a tester, might help.
