You can mimic the test:
- create a new file in `temporary-file-directory'.
- insert 

  * Test
    #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :file test.txt :cache yes
      (message "test")
    #+END_SRC"

- Put point on "BEGIN"

- Call (org-babel-execute-src-block) and compare return value with
  (concat default-directory "test.text")


Another option is to modify the test so it prints some useful debugging
information before failing (e.g., contents of default-directory and
return value of (org-babel-execute-src-block)).
