You may insert a messagebox to check if the feature is installed after the feature installation process.

For checking the existance of a registery key you can use the RegDBKeyExist function.

The other option would be to manually check if the features are installed by navigating to the destination folder.

what about good old logging?

If you want something like unit tests for your CAs things become more complex...

Other thing would be snapshotting and analyzing installation changes. There are a lot snapshot / capture tools around - I think with your IS 2010 license you should be able to use AdminStudio, but don't install it together with IS - use it in your VM for testing
