Here you may find a minimal script based on Vim functions:

https://gist.github.com/lifepillar/b5018945561e024eeb9fc57650fc5d61

Just write the tests at the top of the script using the above-mentioned
assert functions, then source it.

Depending of what you are looking for, that might be all you need. For
something more sophisticated than that, you may take a look at Vim's
own test suite, from which my snippet is derived.

Enjoy,
Life.
