Rất quan tâm đến mô hình TDD, tôi đã dành một chút thời gian để kết hợp một giao diện giả (dựa trên một số đoạn mã tôi tìm thấy trên internet) cho phép gọi các plugin bổ trợ của QGIS và QGIS.
Giao diện tôi đã xuất hiện với giao diện như sau và tôi đã sử dụng nó cho tất cả các bài kiểm tra đơn vị của mình kể từ:

Nếu bạn muốn kiểm tra / sử dụng QGIS cộng với sự tương tác với một plugin đã cài đặt ngay bây giờ, hãy làm như sau (trong setUp không đáng tin cậy của bạn, vd):
qgis_app, canvas, iface = set_up_interface()
plugin_name = 'openlayers_plugin'
utils.plugin_paths = [os.path.expanduser('~/.qgis2/python/plugins')]
utils.updateAvailablePlugins()
utils.loadPlugin(plugin_name)
utils.iface = self.iface
utils.startPlugin(plugin_name) 
Để biết thêm một số ví dụ sử dụng và một số ví dụ thực tế trên các ứng dụng QGIS thử nghiệm đơn vị, bạn có thể xem trang github của chúng tôi ( https://github.com/UdK-VPT/Open_eQuarter/tree/master/mole ). Các bài kiểm tra thư mục chứa tất cả các bài kiểm tra đơn vị (phần lớn là kiểm tra các mô-đun trong gói qgisinteraction, có chứa một mô-đun, tương tác với plugin point_sampling_tool-plugin).
