I did not get any feedback on this, so please excuse me asking again:

Is it by design that adding a DEBUG_POSTFIX to executables makes CMake
miss those very same executables when running "make test"?

It is a bit awkward having to chose between either:

A) having no postfix with executables, i.e. debug executables overwriting
release executables on installation

or

B) not having "make test" work properly when building anything else but
the default / release build type.

In my CMakeLists.txt, I defined tests to be run when I call "make test":

    add_executable( test_tu test/test_tu.cpp )
    set( ALL_TARGETS ${ALL_TARGETS} test_tu )
    add_test( test_tu test_tu )

I also configured to have a postfix "-debug" when building in that config,
so I could install release and debug versions side-by-side:

set_property( TARGET ${ALL_TARGETS} PROPERTY DEBUG_POSTFIX "-debug" )

However, when I build with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug and call "make test", the Makefile will try to call "test_tu" - not "test_tu-debug". Apparently,
the DEBUG_POSTFIX property is not considered by add_test().

Is this by design, a bug, or a faulty config on my part?
