I've added a couple of BrowserViews through paster, now I'm trying to run them from plone.app.testing, because I like repeatable and consistent tests. Calling the view manually from the browser works without any problems.
I've tried both importing and initializing views manually, as well as calling the class from restricted traverse. In both cases an object gets initialized just fine but when I try to trigger rendering either calling the instance as a function or using __call__() method, I get the following error:
*** KeyError: 'global_cache_settings
I looked at the example in README.rst in plone.app.testing it doesn't seem to mention the problem, quick googling didn't yield any results either. It could be one of the site customization, however when greping the source, I found 'global_cache_settings' mentioned in Products.CMFPlone, so it's probably a plone thing:
eggs/Products.CMFPlone-4.1.4-py2.6.egg/Products/CMFPlone/skins/plone_templates/main_template.pt

Am I doing something wrong here?

Browser views are nothing but named multi adapters; to test them you have call them on the right context and to manually set up the request to provide the interface declared for the view; in you case is probably something like this:
from zope.interface import alsoProvides
from Products.MyProduct.browser.promoboardhome import IPromoBoardHome
class TestPromoBoardHome(unittest.TestCase):
layer = PROD_INTEGRATION_TESTING
def setUp(self):
self.portal = self.layer['portal']
self.request = self.layer['request']
alsoProvides(self.request, IPromoBoardHome)
I have a bunch of browser views tests on packages like collective.nitf.
Happy testing!

You probably want to test the views with testbrowser instead:
from plone.testing import z2
browser = z2.Browser(self.layer['app'])
browser.open(self.layer['portal'].absolute_url() + '/@@promoboardhome')
Or similar.
