See test/README:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The tests are run in batch mode by default; sometimes it's useful to
get precisely the same environment but run in interactive mode for
debugging.  To do that, use

    make TEST_INTERACTIVE=yes ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(I haven't used this for years, so I don't know whether it still works)

Best regards, Michael.
