I agree that automated functional tests would be of equivalent
importance as the unit tests Stephan enabled.
There are some Anteater tests in CVS. However you need to uncomment
these in the test target as they require you to have a local Anteater
on your HD.
I wonder whether it would be to heavy to put a trimmed down Anteater
in the CVS so that these tests can be enabled by default (and each block
have its own Anteater tests as well) so that you just need to run:
cocoon servlet
build functional-tests

(Anteater could even be configured to start its own servlet container
to test against IIUC)
