Unit Testing

Testing a simple macro is simple!

It gets more complex when you depend on hard-to-setup objects, but JMock or EasyMock can easily fake such objects:

AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.getUser() I'm assuming that AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.getUser() works as expected, and so not unit-testing a 3rd-party library

Testing velocity templates make the scope of the unit-test larger (integration? component? ui test?), and though they make testing more difficult, it's not impossible or terribly hard. (see Lasse Koskela's Test Driven: Practical TDD and Acceptance TDD for Java Developers, particularly 5.3.2, Test-driving Velocity templates)
