it may be the time to mention that we do exactly this for Pi-hole FTL which embeds the full dnsmasq for the DNS part. On every commit, a virtual machine is started which firstly compiles our project (including dnsmasq) and secondly runs it with standard parameters and starts a full test bench with more than a hundred individual tests. While the majority of tests are for extensions we made to dnsmasq (regular expressions, database integration, CNAME inspection, etc), we also have some standard DNS tests sending some A, AAAA, PTR, CNAME, SRV, SOA, ANY, TXT, NAPTR, MX, DS, RRSIG, etc. queries to specific domains and checking the answers. We then also check the logs and if anything is still working. For instance, our tests complained when merging my patch adding all the known DNS RR types because "query[type=5]" changes to "query[CNAME]". This was not a bug but you see the tests have noticed it. Even when this isn't directly applicable to the dnsmasq core project, it is still something that tests dnsmasq, even when embedded in another project. There is no unittest library whatsoever involved. The tests simply run on a compiled binary.
