There are some test scripts and tools in the RSX DECnet sources, but
they are really RSX specific, and for testing RSX against different
types of systems.
I've never used them, and I don't know what would be required for them
to even be usable.
Apart from those, I don't think I've seen anything.
But there is something for RSX, which might be answering parts of your
question, but it's nothing general.

Over in FAL, one finds the following debugging output:

Like many things I do, I tend to have an overly optimistic if not naive
idea of the development involved and bump into edge cases. I had to
split DAPLIB up into three separate sources to accommodate the changes,
which kept getting longer as I found another case I hadn't considered.
The same thing happened in spades when I put NRT support into
Kermit-20. The changes were so pervasive that I started looking around
for regression tests. C-Kermit itself has wonderful scripting, which
you can even use to write a compiler. But not testing scripts, soI
wrote my own batch control files.
Anybody know what's available for DECnet; in particular, DAP? I seem to
remember there being something for UETP, but it wasn't extensive.
