Hello
I am working on unit test automation for this year Summer of Code. If I'm understanding you correctly, then strictly speaking this is not unit testing. Unit testing is done in isolation, so that you wouldn't need a web server nor the rest of Drupal, just the module in question. Checkout the PhpUnit project at http://phpunit.sourceforge.net/ for a PHP unit testing framework.
This doesn't mean I think your proposal is bad, it's just that QA is often about details, and accurately describing the type of testing is one of the more important details. It also doesn't mean I'm taking a position on using PhpUnit or doing true unit testing. I always encourage unit testing for traditional development languages, but I haven't done any in PHP, so I don't know what the pitfalls may be, if any. Gary
