You can quite easily inspect the script to see which configuration file it is
using, or start the specific test, e.g.:
./run test002
If it fails, you will still have all the configs for that test.

My packages run full test suite during build (I don't upload them if they
don't). From 2.3.38-1, the separate openldap2.3-tests package contains the
test suite packaged such that any user can run the full test suite as
follows:
$ export TMPDIR=/tmp #if not set for some reason
$ cd /usr/share/openldap2.3/tests
$ make tests
(there may be a missing symlink in the /usr/share/openldap2.3/tests
directory ... I am not sure if I fixed it).
I haven't tested this on RHEL3 (as I don't have a spare server or VM for
that), but there's almost no difference between the RHEL3 and RHEL4 packages,
and I did test this on the RHEL4 packages.
There were some really really minor issues with some replacements that had
been done in the defines.sh in packages prior to 2.3.38, but you could fix
them yourself in 30 seconds.

There are some basic skills you seem to be missing here. There isn't any
detailed document of how the test suite works, but it is obvious enough how
it works (by reading the few shell scripts that do most of the work) that I
have been able to repackage it so it can be run on an installed system (as
opposed to just inside the build directory). You should be able to follow the
logic, see how to run one script, get a configuration example from the test
suite.
No one is going to waste their time writing documentation on how to interpret
the shell script.
