I guess you're referring to cocoon-it-fw. It consists of two parts: The
first one provides Maven 2 mojos that you can use to start and stop
Jetty that loads a war file during the integration test phases.
The second one offers a base class for HTML unit tests.

All this has no ties to Cocoon at all and can be used for any Java web
application.

I'd also like to understand this to give you a more specific answer to
your above question.
