The xUnit family of testing frameworks would be a very useful addition to EGL allowing testing of individual code parts.
A recent Java evolution of these, easyb might fit nicely with the abstract/declarative nature of EGL.

Yes, I was aware of that 
The easyb one looked interesting though as I think the concept fits quite nicely with the nature of EGL and, to some extent, sort of avoids things like mock objects, anonymous classes and so on, which I think would be difficult in EGL especially with COBOL in the mix. Thought it was worth flagging up anyway.
I don't know the details but there are already some initiatives on this matter. Check http://www-949.ibm.com/software/rational/cafe/thread/1412
