You can test that method too, something like:

testCanOpenMultipleViews() {
  activePage.showView("primary", "secondary", VIEW_ACTIVATE);
}


Or, if showView is called from a more complex method, you can move the 
commands to a method that passes the exceptions upstream. For example, 
if it is contained in a Action.run method that catches the exception and 
display a dialog to the user, move the code inside the try/catch block 
to a method with the throws clause and test that method. The run method 
simply calls the new method inside the try/catch block.
