'make check' is the thing to use; see 'info Automake --index check'.

It should create all the files you need.

TESTS only specifies what tests to run.  check_PROGRAMS specifies which
files are compiled and linked, and are needed before the 'check' target
can run.  AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT specifies the source file extension
that, for a program 'foo', the default foo_SOURCES entry has.

Cheers,
