Absolutely no! These are unit test classes.
What do you mean with "testing layout"?

Tiles tags to not render HTML code directly. They, instead, load,
prepare and display code coming from other sources (JSPs, string
attributes, etc.).
I must admit that in Tiles <= 2.1.x there is no a serious unit testing
for JSP tags, but with Tiles 2.2.x there are *real* unit tests, using
EasyMock to mock the requests and the responses, in the
"tiles-template" module, that is a base "template tags" module for
JSP, FreeMarker and Velocity and contains all of the common code.

Yes, using selenium I can test the functionality.
Actually I was using Spring Testing framework to write unit testcases for my
custom tags which actually renders html code.
for example i have a tag soemthing like this:
public class TextFieldTag extends TagSupport{
private String name;
private HttpServletResponse response;
// A setter for an attribute that will be set in the custom tag
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return this.name;
}
protected int doStartTagInternal() throws Exception {
JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut();
try {
out.print("<html>");
out.print("<input type=\"text\" name="+getName()+"
disabled=\"true\"/>");
out.print("</html>");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return SKIP_BODY;
}
}
For this i can write a test case to test doStartTagInternal() something like
this:
public void testDoStartTag() throws Exception{
String expectedOutput = "<html><input type=\"text\" name=test1
disabled=\"true\"/></html>";
someCustomTag=new TextFieldTag();
someCustomTag.setName("test1");
someCustomTag.setPageContext(mockPageContext);
int tagReturnValue = someCustomTag.doStartTagInternal();
String output = ((MockHttpServletResponse)
mockPageContext.getResponse()).getContentAsString();
assertEquals("Tag should return 'SKIP_BODY'", TagSupport.SKIP_BODY,
tagReturnValue);
assertEquals(expectedOutput, output);
}
I tried the same approach of testing a class which extends PutAttribute
class. But this is not working.
Whether tiles tag renders html code?

Probably yes, but you might want to take a look at Selenium:
http://seleniumhq.org/
The Tiles test webapp uses it:
http://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/trunk/tiles-test/
See:

Thanks.
I'm confused how to write unit testcases for class extending tiles tag.
Is only JUnit sufficient ?

The not "*Test" classes might help (they are almost stub classes), but
most of them are specific to the tested class. The pattern is:
NameOfTheClass
NameOfTheClassTest
or
TestNameOfTheClass
In fact, with JUnit 4.x you don't need to extend TestCase at all, by
using annotations.
I suggest you to take a look at the JUnit website.

Actually I want to write unit testcases for classes extending Tiles classes.
So will these apis help me ?
