The "abstract" world is not as well defined in C++ world as in Java.
What does it mean abstract in test?
Is the abstract test, something more than "parametrized test" intended
to be reused with various implementations ?
If that's it I would go into this direction ...

void my_complex_contract(SomeInterface& object_under_test)
{
SOME_CHECK(someValue, object_under_test.GetSome())
...
}
TEST(PersonImpl_follows_my_complex_contract)
{
PersonImpl p;
my_complex_contract(p);
}
TEST(Department_follows_my_complex_contract)
{
DepartmentImpl p;
my_complex_contract(p);
}
The above applies if you've got "virtual" interfaces. If you've got
only "generic" interface
then your contract function might become template:
template <typename T>
void copyable_contract_check(T& object_under_test)
{
T tmp(object_under_test);
CHECK(tmp == object_under_test);
...
}
TEST(empty_my_vector_follows_copyable_contract)
{
my_vector v;
check_copyable_contract(v);
}
