I don't know about viewhelpertest, but some hints:

there's a dedicated newsgroup for all extbase/fluid related questions: 
typo3.projects.typo3v4mvc

You can find some extbase extensions at forge.typo3.org, where you can 
access them via svn. There is indeed a project there called 
viewhelpertest, but it's empty.

Some extensions that might help you getting started:
- ballroom_dancing
- sjr_offers
- mvc_extjs
- mvc_extjs_samples
- yag
- extbase_kickstarter (there's even a seperate newsgroup for the 
kickstarter: typo3.projects.extbase-kickstarter )

Be sure to check out svn versions of extbase and fluid, as there have 
been some big improvements since the release of 4.3. Though, this might 
break some of the extensions above.
