While implementing the privacy API into your plugin, there are CLI scripts that can help you to test things on the fly. Just don't forget these are not supposed to replace proper unit tests.
Put these scripts into the root of your Moodle development installation and run them via command line. See Privacy API for the full guide on implementing the API in your plugin.
