If you pull a copy of the tramp source code such as by git then
running make check will run the tests. For example:
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/tramp.git
cd tramp
autoreconf --install
./configure
make
make check
If it passes all of the tests then a 'make install' will install it
into the /usr/local tree. This is for a source code installation.
GNU is all about the source code after all. But most people install
emacs through a software distribution. It comes with the operating
system. When installed like that the tests were already run when the
source was built into the distribution package.
