I received a reply directly via email (poster had tried, but been
unsuccessful at posting to the group) that referenced a couple of
useful article.  I am posting it here as others with the same question

Usually you'd want to use some sort of mock/stub objects for testing
third-party libraries. Essentially, you want to completely replace the
third-party dependencies in your code w/ either stubs for those
dependencies (in case you have some canned responses you want to test
your code against) or mocks (in case you want to ensure what you're
sending to FB is correct).

check out Jeff Atwood's take on stubs/mocks/etc:

and Martin Fowler's discussion of mocks/stubs:
