If you happen to be using Scala, we recently released some tooling we wrote around using CCM for integration testing: https://github.com/protectwise/cassandra-util
You define clusters and nodes in configuration, then ask the service to go: https://github.com/protectwise/cassandra-util/blob/master/ccm-testing-helper/src/main/scala/com/protectwise/testing/ccm/CassandraSetup.scala#L147 It'll create your clusters and tear them down automatically when execution completes.
