Are there any test suites available for the small programs usually shipped with the operating system? Specifically, programs like cp, cat, dd etc (anything in /bin/) on Linux or BSD; OpenBSD being the preferred option.
I know that md5 has a testing script built in however I can't find any others.
The regression testing suite from OpenBSD doesn't have tests for all the utilities.

The POSIX test suites provide full coverage of the standard utilities, which won't be everything in /bin on most systems. It will cover all of the tools you list, however. As well as only covering the standard utilities, the suite will only cover their specified behaviours, and any extensions above POSIX would be ignored (at best).
You would want the VSC suite, "for Shell and Utilities", rather than the one for system interfaces. These are available for a fee to trademark licensees, but you can get a time-limited licence as an open-source project implementing the standard for free with what doesn't appear to be an onerous licence agreement.
There are open suites for much of the system interfaces, but I'm not aware of one for the utilities (and the ones I know of are quite dated as well).
