If you use the add_test(NAME <name> COMMAND <command>) signature you can use generator expressions. You could pass the executable directory as a parameter to the script: add_test(NAME myTest COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DMY_EXECUATABLE=$<TARGET_FILE:myTarget> -P my_script.cmake) In the script use ${MY_EXECUATABLE}.
