lots of advice to be had on testing in general
on Boris Beizer's comp.software.testing FAQ:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/software-eng/testing-faq/

the seminal book of testing is without doubt
"The Art of Software Testing" by Glenford J. Myers:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471043281/ref=sr_aps_books_1_3/202
-1227592-8332621

the word "Art" is important here, since like Hifi,
you can spend as much money as you like on testing
and still never be 'done'

Thanks for the link, Bob.

More generally, how do you all write test data for your XML-using
applications?  I don't have too much experience with writing test data; my
intuitions are to test boundary cases (both valid and invalid) and some
arbitrary non-boundary cases.  Is there a book or online resource I can
reference on this?  Thanks.

Steve
