Limitations
Extension which can be tested automatical
Allowed data within the testset
Be aware : Within the CDATA if you use a '<!--' statement be sure also to close it with '-->' statement.
Reason
The testset is parsed by Exttestbot. The content of testdata of a specific testset is within CDATA. If within this content blok there is a '<!--' statement and no closing '-->' the result will be quite unpredictable. But the change this appear in real live extension testing is very small.
