It doesn't?  Have you checked?

$ make help | grep test
Kernel selftest
  kselftest       - Build and run kernel selftest (run as root)
                    running kselftest on it
  kselftest-clean - Remove all generated kselftest files
  kselftest-merge - Merge all the config dependencies of kselftest to existed
