The simple test case would be the entire program, since it is less then 600 lines of code. But you will also need an appropriate server for it to talk with, which I cannot provide. In addition, the application was built on code licensed under the GPL, and posting it on a mailing list would constitute distribution. But I cannot publish my additions under the GPL, so rather than violate that license, I need a specific individual email destination that will not forward it to a publicly available location. I believe I can send it without getting a signed NDA, since it does not reveal any confidential information.
