I believe tests are very important to prevent things that already work from breaking without even notice it, and that after that, code gets written based on the broken parts of the system, making fixes take a lot more effort. However I'm thinking in taking the testing to higher levels. I mean one single program to test all things in reactos (I mean running a program in reactos that tests everything testable and generates a report of the failures). I'm thinking about some kind of meta language (at least for user mode tests) that could let me add tests very easily.

write that in the "modelling language" C(++)

It's just as of how you look at something.
As Marc says, look for c(pp)Unit. This Unit frameworks exist for nearly 
all languages. For your case I think you have to extend this framework 
in a way that it uses multiple processes.
So if a syscall or lib is broken and the app crashes, one can still 
discover which part (exe) brake ant thus which functionality is broken.
Maybe open a file for shared writing...
