Tests should never write files to that directory.  I'm not sure why automake
didn't complain about it.  (Maybe because it stopped checking after the
first error?).

If the file is input to your test (rather than output from it) then you
should add it to the EXTRA_DIST variable in the appropriate Makefile.am.

In your test code, before returning from main(), call remove(filename).

There are ways that it could be done, but it would be a lot easier to just
call remove() from within your test code.
