XSpec is a unit test and behaviour driven development (BDD) framework for XSLT and XQuery. It is based on the Spec framework of RSpec, which is a BDD framework for Ruby.
XSpec consists of a syntax for describing the behaviour of XSLT or XQuery code and some code that enables to test the code against those descriptions.
