In later versions, we do have some, limited tests available (see tests/), but again, the coverage is nowhere near complete. We don't have a general-purpose "make test"-esque set of tests for the current codebase, and won't have, for the foreseeable future. In this particular case, the parser tests will attempt to create a "dumb database" using temp tables which emulates a simple MediaWiki setup, and will insert various fake pages, images and so on to allow the parser code to be executed and perform various operations - a good example would be page existence, since this affects the correct outcome for a link. You're running under PostgreSQL, it would seem, and here of course, we expose rather well that fact that MediaWiki was not written to work with it, and that there are several edge cases where the usual database "abstraction" hasn't taken place, this parser test set-up and tear-down being just one of those. The PostgreSQL code that we have doesn't use a "searchindex" table as is done in the standard MySQL setup; we're using tsearch2 (ask Greg, the unofficial official PostgreSQL porter for details on this, if it isn't documented somewhere), and as such, the dumb replication of tables causes the parser test set-up method to stumble. The simple solution would be to avoid running the parser tests, as you seem to want to do - realistically, they will not catch any of the problems you are likely to face when installing and configuring MediaWiki; as Platonides has already stated in this thread, you're currently better off testing the edge cases/borders, e.g. file uploads, math rendering (if desired), image thumbnailing, etc. since these rely on external factors or processes not limited to the pure MediaWiki configuration.
