To illustrate my suggestions, I've thrown together a couple simple Babel
tests roughly following this outline, currently up in the
`schulte-testing' branch of the Org-mode repo.

To try it out
1) load the testing/org-test.el file
2) run `org-load-tests' to load up the entire org-mode test suite
3) run `ert' to run the test suite.
4) or jump to the definition of `org-babel-get-src-block-info' and run
   `org-test-current-function' to just run the tests for that function
