Hi Simon, sorry, that I didn't reply to your personal message.
I had the tests for bootmeth_rauc on my to-do list and I am working on it right now. It took me some time to get the existing tests in test/boot/ to work (test instructions and environment are not easy to understand from the documentation). I hope to have some patches soon.
