Tables/views: For a view / table the metadata need not be set when doing a dry run only query validation is sufficient as metadata cannot be set if the object is not yet being materialised in BigQuery
Assertions: No need to do select sum(1) ... on the view that will be created by the assertion. The query validation is sufficient to establish if the query that will be created is valid.
Tests
Dry run on assertions pass if the query is correct
Dry run on assertion correctly fails if the query is not valid
Dry run on table/view passes if the query is valid
Dry run on table/view correctly fails if the query is not valid
