Maybe something like this?

:test-layer: unit

    >>> import grok
    >>> grok.testing.grok('sample')
    >>> from zope.component import getMultiAdapter
    >>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
    >>> from sample.app import Sample
    >>> app = Sample()
    >>> request = TestRequest()
    >>> view = getMultiAdapter((app, request), name='index')
    >>> print view()
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
      <h1>Congratulations!</h1>
    <BLANKLINE>
      <p>Your Grok application is up and running.
      Edit <code>sample/app_templates/index.pt</code> to change
      this page.</p>
    </body>
    </html>

Best regards,
