Well, there is gnome-test-specs package, partially outdated: svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-test-specs during GHOP Joshua Henderson wrote amazing set of tests with ldtp for testcases mentions, now they are committed in gnome-tests-specs Individual packages like evince or gedit also have test specification, there are evolution dogtail scripts. Some amount is committed in jhbuild which has jhbuild test command, not quite used now. So the minor problem is either to collect all tests in a single place like jhbuild or gnome-test-specs or include them into individual packages. There must be a whole desktop testing suite as well too. There are few much more important problems with tests: 1) They are slow, it's hard to wait so long 2) They don't really test anything at least now. GUI testing is rather complicated subject, I'm not sure how it can be done properly. I haven't seen any good article on GUI testing yet.
