For my widget ftests, I created some 'hook up' helper functions and
added them to a support module in the ftests package. E.g.

def registerEditForm(schema):
    config =3D StringIO("""
        <zopeConfigure xmlns=3D"http://namespaces.zope.org/browser">
          <editform
            name=3D"edit.html"
            schema=3D"%s"
            permission=3D"zope.View" />
        </zopeConfigure>
        """ % schema.__identifier__)
    xmlconfig(config)
