What about StepTalk? (http://steptalk.host.sk) I am using it for testing of 
libraries and frameworks. Smalltalk syntax is similar to the ObjectiveC and it 
is easy to rewrite programs from one language to another (in both directions). 
In addition, you can test GDL interactively by using the StepTalk shell 
(http://www.steptalk.host.sk/stshell.html).

Some time ago I have already created GDL2 module for steptalk, because I wanted 
to learn GDL.

Moreover, I think, that using StepTalk can help it to get improved.

I can give you more information, if you are interested.



How could it be used for testing?  I know that it is very easy to write things 
with it, but does it have a framework for running tests and reporting results?


If you mean a framework like OCUnit, then the answer at this time is: not yet. 
But from what I have read about OCUnit, it should be not very difficult to 
create a steptalk bundle for it.

Nevertheless, there are still some advantages of StepTalk even without a 
testing framework:
1. Smalltalk language is really easy to learn and those who are familiar with 
objc should get it quickly (objc messages are inspired by smalltalk)
2. you can 'play' with a framework interactively - I see this as very Good 
Thing while developing
3. there is no need for other libraries, just gnustep-base
