Thanks for the reference.  I expected something like this should exist,
but didn't remember if it really existed.

Now I tried to run

  make TEST_INTERACTIVE=yes -C test tab-bar-tests

after applying the patch provided by Paul.

And interactive tests are passed successfully,
the output buffer displays:

  Passed:  3
  Failed:  0
  Skipped: 0
  Total:   3/3

Probably this can't be used on EMBA.  So for automatic tests
we could still try to add headless mode by implementing
a set of hooks like described by Eli.
