In the a11y team we have started with providing simple instructions in the debian/README.testing file in the package for the other team members (or any interested party) to test the package. It consists mostly of: install; program_start ; <do this command> ; <do that command and expect such and such outcome> ; <stop program> ( all without errors). For an example see [1]. That works nicely if you are unfamiliar with the package. I expect sponsors that don't want figure out how to test a package to request instructions from the maintainer.
