two notes for that. Do you know the check project [3]. I use this unit-test 
suite in my projects. One good thing is the sandbox. That is it runs tests in a 
sandbox (fork) and if one test crashes, the other tests continue to run.
The second is more a recommendation. On the recent GUADEC I demonstrated how to 
run gcov+lcov [3] together with unit-tests [1]. This gives you a pretty html 
report [2] about how much of the actual code is covered by the tests.

Ciao
