Essentially, these things are all various forms of output. Your question is
quite broad. Any testing can pretty much be boiled down to put something in,
verify what comes out. Obviously, some forms of output are much more
difficult to test than others.

The XP (extremeprogramming@yahoogroups.com) list archives might turn up some
interesting threads on this.
