Have a look at kss.core testings. JS is tested with ecmaunit.js  
powered by a rhino JS engine. There's also a "runner.html" to run all  
these tests through a real browser.

These are pure unit tests.

For TinyMCE full testing (browser + server), you should consider  
playing with selenium/selenium-rc. Google will tell you more.

Hope these starters will help.
