I don't think that there is anything out there for that...I recommend taking the role of "dumb user" and seeing if you can come up with the errors. I did a shopping cart page with ASP a couple of months ago, here is some things that I found:

1. Make sure that that users can only enter numbers into the shopping cart, I found out in my page if the user entered a letter or left the any numeric field blank, an error would occur.

2. Make sure that the user can not enter negative numbers. Even though I told it to only accept numbers -1 was still acceptable and it reduced the total price at the end.

3. Make sure deleting items from the cart is possible and be sure to make it clear on how to delete items.

4. If your cart is also interacting with inventory control make sure that quantities are added and subtracted correctly if changes are made within the cart.

Thats all I can think of off hand. I hope this gives you some ideas on what to look for.
