I believe this article gives a good overview of the different data warehouse testing that should be applied: http://quality-gates.com/?p=1284 We are using this method in almost every data warehouse project.

I found this to be a useful, though high level article about data validation.

It's more about how to approach the testing than specific tests, but it does contain some specific tests and has a lot of useful information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg261774.aspx.
