Once the Shale unit test lib is in maven, we'll begin refactoring the myfaces tests to use it.
You will want to go w/ a nightly or wait until the next release, as there have been some major improvements in the last 2 months. It's pretty cool though. You can just instantiate a component, call a bunch of setters, call the encode methods and render the component to a String. All of this outside of the container. I haven't spent much time testing backing beans.
