The only real information is the test cases themselves.

For example have a look at the gas/testsuite/gas/h8300 directory.
There are lots of files here.  The *.s files are the assembler
sources.  The *.exp files are the test scripts use to drive the
testsuite.

Typically a new test is added by creating a new *.s file and then
adding a new procedure to h8300.exp to assemble the file and check the
output.

Note - you could also save yourself some time by making use of the
"run_dump_test" procedure that is available.  Have a look in
h8300-elf.exp for a few examples of it in use.  The difference with
this procedure is that for each test it runs as well as a *.s file
there is also a corresponding *.d file that contains the regular
expressions to match the disassembled output.  (eg h8sx_mov_imm.s and
h8sx_mov_imm.d).  These can be easier to write and maintain than the
tcl code in the *.exp scripts.

Cheers
