We have some code in Fiji (written as a Jython script) that does exactly
that.

I do not understand: do you assume that the plugins have that static
method?  They don't...

Unfortunately, this will not work.  Plugins are too diverse to develop a
generic testing framework.

Unless, of course, you record a macro of everything the user does (which
gets tricky in and of itself) and the full input/output images (which will
be a bit expensive with some of the plugins we have in Fiji).
