It would be interesting to know if there are readers on this list who actually make use of units test during XSLT development and what their experiences are.
I've also always found unit testing XSLT a little too painful to actually get on with and *do* - especially when working on pre-existing code.
However, I've recently been getting promising results by generating XSpec tests from a set of requirement docs filled in by stakeholders - these still need some dev massage before they're ready to produce working scenarios, but in the context of this particular project, it's proving a good way to both discipline the code (not to mention the coder...) and prevent regressions, and provide a window on to the things stakeholders care about - i.e. what goes in and what comes out, rather than what happens on the inside.
