Well, have a look at the sorts of commits that we made for the last
codesprint:

    http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/log?rev=codesprint%3A

Basically, you just have to understand the expected inputs and outputs
of how whatever Octave function you're writing a test for. Then it's
just a matter of wrapping the test with an "assert" or "test"
instruction.

You're welcome in IRC, of course, although nowadays we usually chat
about other things than the code sprint.
