You are right, for what I know, here are some of the tests that
IANA performs:

- The name servers to be introduced in the root zone for that TLD
  must respond to DNS queries from the Internet and must answers
  authoritatively for the TLD zone.

- The set of NS records must be consistent between those supplied
  on the IANA form, and those served by all proposed authorities.

- The proposed glue data for all proposed authorities must be
  consistent with the A and/or AAAA records for that host.

- The serial numbers for the zone should be consistent across all
  authorities.

Best,
