I think you just need to start it like this:

gnome-desktop-testing-runner -d /tmp/eog/share eog

It'll append installed-tests itself and mentioning eog will filter the
tests to only run eog's.

You may need to add LC_ALL=C to disable translations. However I don't
think they'll pass. Some tests need updating to work with a recent
GtkFileChooser for example. The about test will fail if your session is
not in English as it can't find the app menu, since gnome-shell will
translate its title.
