Hi:

My program makes use of Solid for its media device detection. I'd like to 
write some unit tests for the program, but I am not sure how to replace/mock 
the standard Solid APIs. I have read about a "fake backend", but I do not 
know how to enable it or if it would accomplish what I would like.

Ideally, I would like to be able to do something like:
- For my unit test harness, instantiate a dummy device manager. This should 
only affect the current running program, not replace the system solid 
manager.

- Feed the dummy manager test devices that implement the particular interface 
it looks for. These test devices would be completely fake, but should look 
and behave like real devices.

Is there anything available? If not, any suggestions on how I could accomplish 
what I want to do?
