I did a little more research on Plack::Test. So it turns out you can use it to start up a server with $Plack::Test::Impl like so:

use lib 'lib';
BEGIN { $ENV{'DANCER_ENVIRONMENT'} = 'testing' }
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
use VoteTracker;
use Test::More;
use Test::HTML::Content;
use Plack::Test;
use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome;

$Plack::Test::Impl = "Server";

Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR);

my $app = VoteTracker->to_app;

my $test = Plack::Test->create($app);
my $port = $test->port;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 1, report_js_error
+s => 1,   );
$mech->allow( javascript => 1 );
$mech->get("http://localhost:$port/path/to/page");

xpath_ok($mech->content, '//h1[text()="Hello"]', 'Has proper title');

done_testing;

So this is great. One thing I noticed, however, is that WWW::Mechanize::Chrome is really slow to load. If each test script fires up Chrome, it will take an exceedingly long time to run the tests. Is there a way I can share the Chrome instance across each test?

Update:I've never used it before but I'm thinking Test::Class might be what the doctor ordered to pull this off, right?
