In -portable, 'make tests' should run the regression test suite.
It currently runs the following TEST_TARGETS defined in Makefile.am:

  delta deltify fetch idset path tog cmdline

The tests depend on git and the HTTP::Daemon Perl module.

The tests need compiled binaries installed on the system because paths
to helper programs, such as got-read-pack, are hard-coded in user-facing
binaries, such as got and tog. You may have to generate RPMs and install
them system-wide before the tests will run successfully.

You'll also need to set things up such that 'ssh 127.0.0.1' succeeds
without any interactive prompting (need to accept the host key manually
once, and ensure that an ssh key is available for authentication).
This is because operations such as clone and send which use the network
will be trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 over ssh, as the same user who
invoked 'make tests'.

The OpenBSD version of got also has tests for gotd, and gotwebd.
As far as I can tell, these tests cannot be run in -portable yet.

There are environment variables which control some test parameters:

GOT_TEST_PACK=1 will force tests to use pack files instead of loose
objects. GOT_TEST_PACK=ref-delta will force use of pack files with
ref-deltas rather than offset-deltas.

GOT_TEST_ALGO=sha256 will run tests with sha256 repositories (skipping
tests involving the network as we do not support sha256 over the Git
network protocol yet).

GOT_TEST_ROOT can be set to a path where temporary test data gets stored.
This defaults to /tmp.
