You need to use the name of the program as a prefix to the SOURCES 
primary.  Also you don't need to list the $(testHEAD) as SOURCES for Test.

check_PROGRAMS = Test
Test_SOURCES =  $(testCPP)
^^^^

You can build many programs and they may all have different sources.  
For example

check_PROGRAMS = foo bar
foo_SOURCES = foo_src.c
bar_SOURCES = bar_src.c

Will build program foo with foo_src.c and build program bar with bar_src.c

Kind regards,

Tyler
