[QGIS-Developer] Testing QGIS Plugin

[Etienne Trimaille]

Hi,

Sorry, I was mainly thinking about this one :
https://github.com/g-sherman/Qgis-Plugin-Builder/blob/master/test/qgis_interface.py
We can find it in many plugins.
Is it still needed ?

I totally agree, the mock iface provided by QGIS core is still useful!
