For me, I usually just write a normal console application to test my code, then copy the C++ code into the GDS samples. Laziness prevails, and my code is less buggy.

Right now I'm splitting the tests in two: the content extract part and the COM part. The first one is very straightforward, just read a test data file, process it with your code, and check that the content you get is what you expected. Testing the COM part is harder. Ideally, what is needed is what the industry calls as mockup. Then you can drive the test of your plugin through the mockup as GDS will do in real life. A mockup of GDS is very interesting project.
