I've never used invoker or verifier, so still have to make my opinion.

I just had many issues configuring testing-harness with required maven
components : I added new feature to my mojos but tests cannot be updated due
to some new dependencies introduced that have no stub in testing-harness (or
no easy way to get one).
Shitty was an easy way to solve this.

AFAIK, shitty is similar to invoker, but does more : it install the current
artifact in local repo with version "testing" and invoke a maven build.
Seems to be what the invoker it-test do. Shitty alos use groovy scripts to
test the result.
