There's a _small_ amount in the wiki, at
https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/wiki/DeveloperGuide/TestingMethodology/QMTestMethods
 and
https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/wiki/DeveloperGuide/TestingMethodology.
The README in the QMTest dir is not all that helpful; that'd be a good
place for some of this IMHO.
