it is not that hard to prepare QSettings to act as if you were inside QGIS application. This should be sufficient to pretend that your unit test is actually QGIS: from PyQt4.QtCore import QCoreApplication QCoreApplication.setOrganizationName( "QuantumGIS" ) QCoreApplication.setApplicationName( "QGIS" ) A bit harder may be test code using QgisInterface instance - preferably the code you are going to test should not use that interface at all, otherwise you would need to create a mock object implementing the methods you use.
