If you are using objects which are containers for
other objects, you could do it like this:

Every object gets a method called "unittest". This performs
a unittest on its own data, and then calls unittest() for
all child objects.

This way you can check all objects by calling unittest for the root object,
or call the method for only a part.

Be sure to do no recursion if you have circular data.
