For the record, this is what I ended up doing for testing plot recipes `Measurements.jl`:

> <https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl/blob/2ef7fadf7c2644408cff555781b9c10adfca26f6/test/plots.jl>

Note that this is using some internals of `RecipesBase.jl`, so use it at your own risk 🙂

Sorry for necroposting, but I see that this thread comes is among first results when searching for plotting tests in Julia, so I thought it could be useful to point out this option.
