Yes there are. In addition to unit tests, there are also the functional
tests in the Asterisk Test Suite [1].

To enable them as well as set up Asterisk for the Test Suite:

1. Configure Asterisk for development mode:
  $ ./configure --enable-dev-mode
2. In menuselect, enable the TEST_FRAMEWORK Compiler Flag
3. Also in menuselect, enable the Test Modules. These provide the unit
tests.
4. Build/install Asterisk
5. Run Asterisk
6. Execute the unit tests (or a subset thereof) using the CLI:
  *CLI> test execute [category|all]

Note that some unit tests require a particular configuration or certain
subsystems to be enabled. You can examine the CI build agent scripts used
for test runs here:

http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/testsuite/bamboo/trunk/bin/

Specifically, the "build-asterisk-only.sh" script and
"run-asterisk-unittests.sh".

Setting up [2] and running [3] the Asterisk Test Suite is documented on the
wiki, and generally covers a lot more functionality than the unit tests.
