A great place to start is this paper:

  http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/the_mission/publications/Hill.2007.pdf

It's a walk-through of how NASA's JHU/APL facility stress-tests software
intended for deep space missions, including Messenger, New Horizons, and
STEREO.  Lot's of good concepts, no specific test harnesses, though.

thx,

Jason.
