For test automation, see:

   ftp://anonymous@prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/dejagnu.tar.gz

Deja Gnu is a regression test tool that is built around 'expect', an
extension to 'tcl' that permits automating interactive processes.
With expect and dejagnu, one ought to be able to open several
simultaneous telnet connections to a running moo and drive it with
input that is realisticly paced with respect to keystroke timing.  The
output generated could be examined with expect to determine if the
expected response was produced by each stimulus.  The dejagnu testing
framework will report the test results in a POSIX compliant manner.
