Thanks for the quick replies!

I just noticed that I'm actually looking for something suitable to test my infrastructure (e.g. represented by a couple of vagrant VMs interacting with each other) rather than individual cookbooks.

Right - so explicitly this is not what Test Kitchen is designed for.  But we can use the fact that it builds infrastructure and converges nodes.
 

@Stephen: looking forward to see more of it. My first thought on Leibniz was a bit different though given that we are working in a kitchen, aren't we?

Hehe.  I named it after the dude who, alongside Newton, invevented integration.
 

@Mike: but this runs on the node, doesn't it?

Yes - absolutely.  This is what Test Kitchen *is* designed to do.
