I'm not sure what most people do, but here is what I do: For my wxs file testing, I just use LINQ to XML and verify properties of certain things that I do not want to change (i.e. perMachine installs, etc.) I do the same for other types of things, like SQLScript (verify that the sequence is sequential, etc.). I know that Lux ( http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/lux.html) is supposed to be able to do something like that, but I wanted clear assertions in my CI and using NUnit was what was most familiar to me.
For my CustomActions we're using C#. For those, the Session object unfortunately is a sealed class. For that, I just wrote a SessionHelper object that wraps it, and in my unit tests I wrote a stub that acts like a Dictionary<string, object> that I can fake properties and such, whether or not I've logged to it, etc. Other than that, you can write unit tests like you normally would in C#. That's what we have been using and it has worked out pretty well. YMMV.
