Re: junit test... for xslt2?

CoherentWeb[1] is a rich client app designed from the outset for XSLT
testing, it is commercial software but currently available as a free
Beta.

This probably works at a higher level than you require but may be of
interest all the same. Its designed to work with representative XML
test cases (normally a few hundred, but it can handle 10,000).

The idea is to either use the integrated XPath development environment
to set up library files of grouped XPath 'Watch Variables, or use XSLT
to import XPath assertions from external XML sources such as
schematron files. Alternatively, its suitable for (though not
specifically designed for) XSLT based test frameworks such as XSpec.
Auto generated XML output reports assist in testing xsl:message and
xsl:result-document output as well as the principal output.

Whilst conventional XML IDE's focus on a variety of project files you
edit and occasionally test, as an Integrated Test Environment,
CoherentWeb is all about analysing the input and output of one or more
XSLT transforms on a document set.
