From a quick look at the tests in Github, the LiveCode Builder Test Framework looks good. From its implementation, especially the test runner, it seems that it has been developed for testing LiveCode Builder itself.
Is it possible for the test "dialect" to be made available via the extension manager so that it could be used to write tests for widgets and libraries? (I am assuming that it will be possible to write and run a test runner from LiveCode.)

Re: LiveCode Builder Test Framework
At the moment the LCB unit test framework is being used to implement tests for the LCB VM, Compiler and Standard Library. However, we are planning to increase its scope to include both libraries and widgets written in LCB, and the LCS syntax action functions in (to which LiveCode syntax binds).
We are definitely planning to let you write your own unit-test modules for your extensions and integrate them with the build process for them.
