[development] Views tests

I have been trying to add more tests to the Date module and one thing that is really needed are tests that the Views integration is working. I see that the D7 version of Views has lots of tests but can't see any way I can use that to test my custom default views and my views plugins and handlers. I don't want to re-invent all the stuff that is already done but I don't know if there is any way to re-use any of it. I don't have time to figure this all out right now, but would love to know if there is a way to do this. I would also love it if someone who *does* know how to do it would like to create some tests (which could then also be examples for other modules that want to add test coverage for their Views handlers and plugins).
