the code added has been tested a fair amount, but nowhere near the testing that it will get now that it is in a mainline Plasma Workspaces release. your code is about to be exposed by orders (plural) of magnitude more people. but more importantly: it has not been tested in the form it is in git right now, which is merged with the upstread libtaskmanager. we're making changes to the patches and it will be used with more than just the icon tasks widget now.

so, yes, testing is currently an issue. not a fatal one, and one that will repidly be addressed once this is merged and the first betas go out ;) i just want us to be aware of this and ready to address problems that may arise that we're unaware of right now. nothing we (e.g. you and i) can't or won't handle, but awareness == readiness.
