I typically start with the following template:
<cfoutput>
<html><head>
<title>#createObject("java", "jrunx.kernel.JRun").getServerName()#</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2" />
</head><body>
#createObject("java", "jrunx.kernel.JRun").getServerName()#<br />
#now()#
</body></html>

Just open it in a few browser windows and start shutting down / killing 
instances and see what happens. If you configured session replication 
just add in a session hitcount and see if it gets reset on a cluster 
failover. Once that works you need tooling (OpenSTA, jmeter etc.) to 
start testing real world load and failover behaviour.
