Does anyone know of a way to write unit tests for the XSLT transformation?
I've a lot of XSLT files and it's getting harder to test them manually. We have an example XML and can compare it to the resulting output XML from the XSL transormation. However, I'm looking for a better test method.

The Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) standard specifies a language definition for XML data transformations. XSLT is used to transform XML documents into XHTML documents, or into other XML documents.
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language originally designed for transforming XML documents into other XML documents, or other formats such as HTML for web pages, plain text or XSL Formatting Objects, which may subsequently be converted to other formats, such as PDF, PostScript and PNG.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is an XML-based language used, in conjunction with specialized processing software, for the transformation of XML documents.
I am currently looking for some good options to do this as well. As a result, I came across this question, and a few other potential candidate solutions. Admittedly, I haven't tried any of them yet, so I can't speak to their quality, but at least they are some other avenues potentially worthy of researching.
Additionally, I found the following article to be informative in terms of a general methodology for unit testing XSLT.

Try XSpec, a testing framework for XSLT. It allows you to write tests declaratively, and test templates and functions.
