This part of Shale is an attempt to raise the bar on JSF development a little, by removing the excuse that it's too hard to set up unit tests for your server side beans :-). The framework provides mock objects for all the necessary structures, plus base classes for your test cases that wire everything together for you like a container will.
That being said, I personally consider such unit tests to be necessary but not sufficient for overall application testing, and like to have system integration tests in addition, which behave like a client browser, and then examine the results. The Shale "use cases" example app has some integration tests like this (as well as some unit test coverage).
My personal favorite tool for integration tests is HtmlUnit (at SourceForge) but there are lots of others as well.

Sounds interesting!It is. I saw it demoed at JP05 and it looked great.
How long does it take to setup up such tests?
As long as it takes you to navigate your own interface plus + about 2-5 mins for each test case.Is it tricky?
Not at all.Regards,Andy
While at JP I also saw a part of shale being used to test your managed beans. It looks cool too but it's not the same type of testing. However I haven't got a chance to look at this part yet.
