It certainly should be called from tests. Are you sure it is not being called? Try putting a line debugger at the start of the filter and see if it breaks there. Otherwise how are you invoking the controller method that should call the filter? Have you looked in test.log to see if there is anything of note there? If still no joy show us the controller action code and the error trace and which line it is failing on.
