None that I know of, the analog world is much too diverse to
standardise.
 One has to figure out whether and how to do it on a per case
basis.
 For example, in a medical device I recently designed I had
both control over a synthesized analog output and the ADC
readback of it; that makes it easy.
 In other devices, where the input is unknown and switching
input to some inbuilt known source would be too costly
because of technical or financial reasons - or both - testing
may be just impossible, or hard to do, like observing some
sane behaviour pattern etc.
