The tutorial could only be fixed by Kitware guy's but I'm pretty sure they will.

By the way th issue has already discussed
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-July/051301.html
but not fixed yet.

--config  is for config FILE
-C is for build type config (Release, Debug, ...)

The builtin documentation for add_test
cmake --help-command add_test
says:
"If the ENABLE_TESTING command has been run, this command adds a test
       target to the current directory.  If ENABLE_TESTING has not been run,
       this command does nothing."

The tutorial may be improved no doubt.
In the meantime you may find other tutorial as well:
