Unit tests for Dataverse plugins?

I must admit, I almost never write unit tests for Dataverse plugins.

Plugins are often quite simple, testing them in isolation is not particularly useful. Often you only test a couple of if-statements.

Unit tests don't bring a lot of value in these cases.

It is more interesting to test how your plugin performs in the environment where it is being combined with other plugins, workflows, JavaScript and Power Automate flows.

Manual integration testing and extensive logging is often the best way to make sure your plugins work in the target environment.

Do you always unit test your plugins?
