"M-x compile" has its own history, granted.  You can move through it
with M-p and M-n (resp up-arrow and down-arrow), and you can serach
for commands that match a regexp with M-r.

In addition, there's "M-x recompile" that will automatically reuse the
last compile command.

Finally, you can use file-local variables to define the compile
command for each file (unit test in your case).
