If you are using Cloudformation the most popular tool for testing is Taskcat. Taskcat is a great tool for testing if your Cloudformation Template is deployable in certain regions of AWS. Unfortunately testing if the deployed resources are working as intended is a bit complicated when using Taskcat.
I created Cloud-Radar over the last week to extend the capabilities of Taskcat so that it's easier to test if the deployed resources have the desired behavior.
If you are using Taskcat already then moving to Cloud-Radar is pretty simple, you just need to pass it the path to your .taskcat.yml config file.
If your not familiar with Taskcat Cloud-Radar will accept a taskcat config file in the form of a python dictionary. The config file is pretty simple, a barebones one will declare the path to the Cloudformation template, the regions you want to deploy it to and the parameters you want to use.
