Hm.  Some :).

It depends on what you're interested in:
 *) mesa has the piglit test suite, which covers quite a lot of GL
functionality.  It tests quite a lot of things which aren't implemented,
though, so it's most useful at picking up regressions.
 *) There's the rendercheck suite for X rendering.  I've not used it.
 *) There's modetest (in the libdrm tree) for kms testing

A significant probability of X crashing or the GPU locking up.  I don't
think it's particularly more likely to physically damage hardware than
just using nouveau normally.
