You can either build for qemux86-64 or you can try patches from this series:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-November/129187.html

Basically, you should be interested in these:

  oe-selftest: enforce en_US.UTF-8 locale
  oeqa/utils/commands.py: allow use of binaries from native sysroot
  wic: selftest: avoid COMPATIBLE_HOST issues
  wic: selftest: do not assume bzImage kernel image

This is how you add a test:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-November/129192.html

Running tests is as simple as:

 oe-selftest -r wic.Wic.test_your_test  # runs single test
 oe-selftest -r wic.Wic                 # runs all wic tests
