This link lists the sources for their information and what books they're found in. I used this when I asked myself the same question.
However, the test itself is left ambiguous. Everyone's test is different.

Intentionally not specified. Either so GM's are free to do whatever they want OR there is some future planned material that will cover it.
Yes. It is intentionally unspecified. There are several places to get mechanics ideas, notably mythic realms, but its vague as to the canonicity of the stuff in that book.
For the test, I plan on running the Statuary and Grand Halls levels of Maure Castle for my players. Just change the NPC motivations to being previous Starstone aspirants that are eternally wandering the halls in search of the stone.

I would do something like having a lost child wander in and pass the starstone test.
And that would kinda be the point.
It would not be the kind of test you pass by being awesome at killing things or being an epic whatever. It is the kind of test you pass by being the epitome of something.
Norborger is the epidome of secrecy.
Iomedae is the epidome of devotion.
Cayden is the epidome of stupid reckless heroics.
Aroden was the epidome of human potential.
If you're Joe the Barbarian, even with twenty levels and some mythic tiers you would fail.
Small wondering child is the the epidome of childish innocence and she's in.
I like the idea of the test being that kinda Paradox.

At first I really disliked this idea, but the more I think about it more sense it makes, very cleaver. I guess I'm more inclined to the old fashion, kill a god, robe his domain, ascend to godhood.

Well, that totally happens too. The Starstone isn't the only path to godhood. Eating a god works (Lamashtu). As does complete self-actualization (which, if I remember, is basically how Irori did it)

You're basically describing the canon of Cayden's (who you mention) ascension. He doesn't even remember the test because he was black-out drunk.
