The idea is you create a CMakeLists.txt file as though it were a project using this module, and make, say, a check_tree.cmake script to check that the right things were installed in the right places. Lines 124-131 of tests/CMakeLists.txt are what run ECMInstallIconsTest.

That's because you need to use execute_process().

For the general structure, I really recommend you take ECMInstallIconsTest as your starting point.
