I have been thinking the exact same thing. The weird header file is
just annyoing.  I think something like this is a really good idea.
Hopefully, it will result in many more testcases.

Instead of doing what you suggest, why not split the program into four
different ones:

test-random 
        This program would just consist of the assault() function. It
        should just loop forever feeding random data to the loaders.

test-read 
        Reads images and reports if it succeeded or failed. Testing
        a lot of valid images would just be "testread validimages/*"

test-randomly-modified 
        Opens files given on command line and randomly modifies them
        forever

test-lowmem
        Uses up almost all memory and tries to read in a file given on
        the command line

I also think this testing should be moved to its own subdirectory
under gtk+/tests.
