Great to see some unit tests included. However, I think the documenting of
what is happening is missing in comments and in the commit log. I think you
need to explain in the commit log the general pattern used for the tests,
which seems to be having a different response copied to the user each time
the callback is called, and verifing that the output got is what was
built-up internally. 
This should also be explained via comments in the code too, as I call out
below.

This function needs a comment explaining what it does and why.

This one too, needs comment explaining how it works etc.

I'm not sure I like this way of calling the test cases, and the indentation
of the lines is definitely wrong. The simplest option here is to have a
single if statement for each test and a goto for the "error" leg:

	if (test_case_array_string() != 0)
	   goto error;
	if (test_case_array_int() != 0)
	   goto error;
	...

However, if you want to avoid the multiple if statements, a better option
than merging as above would be to put the functions in an array and loop
over them as (rough code, completely untested!):

	typedef int (*test_case)(void);

	test_case test_cases[] = {test_case_array_string,
			test_case_array_int, ... };
	...
	for (i = 0; i < RTE_DIM(test_cases); i++)
		if (test_cases[i]() != 0) {
			...
		}
