All tests written for a certain unit written as "unit unit tests" are in 
tests/test/units/<unit name> (actually, tests/test contains in general 
unit tests - unit in the sense of testing - all other dirs are 
regression tests). Your test app could easily live there e.g. in 
tests/test/rtl if it is not split between different units. All test runs 
(nightly or manual) would pick it up.
