One simple way is to parameterize your RouteBuilder so that in
testing, you can stub out endpoints with mock/direct endpoints.
e.g.
public class MyRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
String a = "quartz:whatnot";
String b = "jms:someQueue";
public void configure() {
from(a).
filter().xpath("/whatever").
to(b);
}
// setters so you can overload in tests...
public void setA(String a) {...}
public void setB(String b) {...}
}

Maybe dependency injection is a bit cleaner? e.g. using constructor
arguments or setters on the route builder. Another strategy is to just
use named references in your routes; then let your IoC container or
JNDI provider map logical endpoint names to physical endpoints. If you
are using Spring or Guice then you can properties files to overload
URIs you use between development/integration testing/production.

I guess it depends on what kind of testing you want to do. For Unit
Testing transformations, you often can have separate routes. For
Integration Testing you probably want to use the real production
configuration (with one or two endpoint URIs changed here or there).
