This sounds like what [rostest](
http://wiki.ros.org/rostest) is for.
If you're not aware, rostests are basically launch files, but launched by a special `roslaunch` wrapper that is specifically intended to be able to test nodes in a (mini) application context.
Populating the `robot_description` parameter (or any parameter really) is done in exactly the same way as you would in a regular launch file.
> This node requires the robot description to know about the available joints and then is updated frequently with joint_states messages.
The rostest could also start a second node that generates those joint states.
