If you look at the code base, many of the libraries have a test dir
example intern/ghost/test

If you use the Makefiles you can do make test, or if you want a  
specific test say ghost you need to have
the following:
export NANBLENDERHOME = (your blender rootdir)
export MAKEFLAGS="-w -I$(NANBLENDERHOME)/source"
cd intern/ghost/test
make

Most of the tests are pretty old.
I looked and Scons briefly and it doesn't look like the test files are  
setup to be used under scons.

Basically I think the whole test setup needs some work, and there are  
lots of places in the code that
do not have test files.
