What do you need to get D7 tested under 5.5? I mean once you have a CI in place, it is not hard to setup one instance to test 5.5. Waiting the final release of 5.5 won't be of any help, not for Drupal, not for us. > Where does that leave me as of March 2014?

If you need more resources or some help to setup testing instances for 5.5 or other, please let me know. But waiting until 5.5 is out to begin testing is a really bad idea (by choice or by default).
