I just noticed Jim’s annoucement of PSUnit, a tool for automated testing in PeopleSoft. I had to link it so I could come back and give it a try. To download load it, look for the link at the bottom of the PeopleSoft Technology Blog post.
In my opinion, automated testing would be huge for PeopleSoft. It is such a huge and complex system that a complete system test requires many users to perform many different actions. Maintaining a series of automated tests would allow an organization to run a full test everytime they apply a tax update, bundle, or any sort of modification to their system.
Well, I will report when I get a change to play with it some more.

The PS Unit Test Harness is for unit testing of Application Packages, not general application wide unit tests.
