I've written a bit of Emacs Lisp, and I've written unit tests in other
languages. From the list of tools on http://emacswiki.org/emacs/UnitTesting,
ert.el and el-expectations.el look most promising to me. What tools are
others using for unit testing and TDD in Emacs Lisp? What are good examples
of packages using each?

Well, ERT is included in Emacs (from 24.1 onwards), together with a nice
manual, and is used for the (so far, somewhat sparse) tests in the
test/automated directory in the Emacs repository.

Here's a +1 for ERT -- I've used it a bit, and think it's a fine unit
testing library for elisp, it's more or less what you expect it to be.
