That's challenging.
Would the test framework be limited to XML output? In that case, a first test would be that the result is well-formed and validates. Of course, that would not mean that it matches expectations.
More generally, XSLT can produce about anything. What could be checked?

Thanks Eric for your comment! :)
Well, actually there is already a test environment called XSpec. However, it works for XSLT 2 only, so it could be an issue for XSLT 1 stylesheets (especially when using extensions and the like).
In my case, I'm searching for a solution for the DocBook stylesheets. They produce specific results and I'm only interested if some specific structure has been created. This can be easily checked through XPath.
I tried XSpec, but documentation is a bit limited. Plus, it doesn't work as I expected to it. ;) So I guess, it will be some kind of Python3 + pytest magic. We'll see. :)
