Here we will run the integration test on the first plugin created in the Creating your first plugin recipe in Chapter 4, Server-Side Extensions. You can also run the test on the refactored plugin described in Refactoring your plugin using a three-layer pattern found earlier in this chapter.

The integration test will be written in the form of a unit test, therefore requiring a Visual Studio unit test project. We will leverage the unit test project created in this chapter's Unit testing your plugin business logic recipe that uses Visual Studio 2015 and its native unit testing framework.

When running your unit test, make sure your connection string's user has the correct privileges to create and update the necessary records. If you opt to tidy up after the unit test, you will need additional delete privileges. Best practice dictates that you should tidy up the test records, unless you are planning on resetting your environment later.
