Several options:

  * "PyUnit", Python's unit test framework, with XML-RPC or
    "ZPublisher.Client" to access Zope (from outside)

  *  "ZUnit", similar to "PyUnit", but you start tests via
     Zope's management interface rather than from the command line

  *  A commercial Web-application testing framework (I only see ads,
     without really reading them. Thus, can not tell you which product
     to use).
