With regards to fire sprinkler systems have a look at NFPA 13 and 25.
The biggest problem I've seen, is a coordinated test between systems, where one systems, fire alarm for example, has to interface with another system, Building Management for example.
The trades installing these systems should be able to provide you with their test procedure, assuming they're working for you and you're not one of the trades. Still I've seen some of those providing these systems lack the experience for testing all aspects of the system.

You are asking for a manual where as there is no real consensus on what a building commissioning should include, who should write it and who is best suited to conduct it, etc. In the end, someone has to pay for the time and effort that varies greatly with project budget.
There can be as many variant of a manual as there are types of buildings and systems.
