I think of this checklist at a higher level - a meta level. If this is a test, it's not a test of the technical "goodness" of a test suite but more like a test to ensure that certain process steps were followed (e.g., is every feature tested, is there documented traceability from each test to a requirement in the recommendation, is there a test harness, etc.). I believe it is not only possible to develop this checklist (test), but really quite straight-forward.
