Hello there!
TL;DR: https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite
A week ago I had a conversation with mpfusion and another user over IRC
about the ConTeXt test suite. mpfusion had a tarball with some test and
an elaborate machinery to see if the testfiles compile. He kindly
provided the tarball, and I took the liberty to do it my way (I didn't
hear back from him, I assume he's working on his solution), using the
testfiles and rewriting the code.

I'd like to know if there is some interest in this thing, as (obviously)
the test suit is not really populated to have any kind of value. There
is also room for improvement (like custom arguments to the compilation).
This is an excellent idea. I am assuming that you are aware of the earlier
effort:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test
In particular the test repository:
http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/contexttest/scmsvn/
The test repository started around six years ago after discussions at the
first ConTeXt meeting, but lost momentum after a few years. It does have a
more extensive set of test cases, and a script to compare PDF files. It
may be worthwhile to merge the two repos.
Ideally such a test suite should be run periodically on a server and it
can send an email to a list if one of the tests fails.
