There is <testing.launcher> feature whose value will be prepended to the
command line used to run the test.

Try this (untested)

run
      [ glob *.cpp ]
      /site-config//BoostUnitTest
   :  # args
   :  # input files
   :  <include>.
      <threading>multi
      <testing.launcher>"cd $(testDir) && "
   :  ParliamentTest
   :  # default build
   ;
