You have several ways to test this. Assume you have a command button defined like this:

<h:commandButton value="Hello" action="/index.jsp" id="submit_button" disabled="#{mybean.enabled}"/>

You can test this from the server side using the JSFServerSession like this:

JSFServerSession server = new JSFServerSession(client);
HtmlCommandButton submitButton = (HtmlCommandButton)server.findComponent("submit_button");
assertTrue(submitButton.isDisabled());

From the client side you have several ways to find the component but the simplest in this case is to use the HttpUnit API:

WebResponse response = client.getWebResponse();
String clientID = client.getClientIDs().findClientID("submit_button");
Button submitButton = (Button)response.getElementWithID(clientID);
assertTrue(submitButton.isDisabled());

I prefer testing this sort of thing from the server side, which is a bit more powerful.
