The Asterisk test suite is distributed as a separate project and has its own set of dependencies[1]. It is unlikely that it would ever be made available using this mechanism, as it would impose unnecessary work for deployers and users.

Asterisk does have unit tests but these require additional menuselect options to be set.

A patch to add a target which could be run if unit tests are compiled in would be useful, but this would be a feature request. If you'd like to submit a patch for doing this then this issue can be reopened.
