Hello Pete, I'm referring to a single canned response for all calls to scheduleReportJob() that involve a DefinedReportJob (which is effectively all possible reports in v12/v13). This would be regardless of the parameters and selectedColumns. It's not ideal, but it's one of the restrictions imposed by how the current Sandbox's ReportService is set up.
I definitely appreciate the desire to exercise your code in unit tests or during development against a variety of different reports. I think your best approach to do this given the Sandbox's limitations is to validate/schedule and poll for report status using the Sandbox, but when you get to the stage where you make a getReportDownloadUrl() call, mock that out with your own method that will return the URL of a report you've set up specifically to meet the requirements of your tests. You can run some reports in advance against Production or using the web interface and store them in a local web server, or store it locally and return a file:// URL in your mocked getReportDownloadUrl() method. With such an approach you should be able to go through all the normal steps as you would if you were making your calls in Production, and you'll have more flexibility for testing your report parsing code than you would even if we have one Sandbox report available with static columns and dummy data.
