Great. My main concern was that careful testers would need to screenshot and count pixels, while slapdash ones might give false positives.

The general approach would satisfy my comment. 

For specific tests, though, its good to ensure that inaccuracies are visible. To take your code snippet above, the red rect is only 50x50 so if the implementation ends up with any transform from translate(25,25) to translate(75,75) the red rect is still covered.

(Unlikely with that specific transform syntax but could happen if other units are used or for more complex, combined transforms).

Allowing a 1px margin for anti-aliasing and thus specifying a 98x98 red rect would be more sensitive to errors in implementations.
