The key phrase here is "In a Test Environment"... which means you don't run the risk of performance impacts and other issues as in Production. I run 3 databases (Mostly one at a time) on my XP laptop. We have some *nix and 2K servers running upto 15 to 20 instances each. But they are just test/dev instances with small footprint. Sometimes you have to run multiple instances on a single box (while in test/development)... because it is more cost effective and does not clutter up your server room.

Production however, is a different ballgame.
