You can find short info here:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Oe-selftest

And here https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html as oe-selftest
test cases are based on Python unittest.

You've spotted it right. All wic testcases are in that file.
You can run them this way:  oe-selftest --run-tests wic

As Ross already pointed out you can omit @testcase decorator if you add
new test. QA team will add it later when they need it.
