None. xorg-gtest is a framework upon which tests are built. xserver,
utouch-frame, utouch-grail, utouch-geis, etc. all have their own tests
in their own source repos.

Think of xorg-gtest like Google Test or like the Check unit testing
framework. They don't have tests themselves, they are frameworks for
other projects to build tests upon.
