Specifically for prototypes for checking factors like performance/reliability, I would implement automatic tests for a very limited slice of functionality that cuts through the layers.

For other prototypes to discuss the functionality early with users, I often found "throw away prototypes" helpful. So there, you would have no automated tests and no comprehensive documentation for these prototypes.
