You can use the plugin [DeployImage](https://book.kubebuilder.io/plugins/deploy-image-plugin-v1-alpha.html) to check examples. This plugin allows users to scaffold API/Controllers to deploy and manage an Operand (image) on the cluster following the guidelines and best practices. It abstracts the complexities of achieving this goal while allowing users to customize the generated code.

Therefore, you can check that a test using ENV TEST will be generated for the controller which has the purpose to ensure that the Deployment is created successfully. You can see an example of its code implementation under the `testdata` directory with the [DeployImage](https://book.kubebuilder.io/plugins/deploy-image-plugin-v1-alpha.html) samples [here](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/testdata/project-v3-with-deploy-image/controllers/busybox_controller_test.go).

See that the `test` makefile target will ensure that all is properly setup when you are using it. However, if you would like to run the tests without use the Makefile targets, forexample via an IDE, then you can set the environment variables directlyin the code of your `suite_test.go`:

### Flags

154
Here's an example of modifying the flags with which to start the API server in your integration tests, compared to the default values in `envtest.DefaultKubeAPIServerFlags`:
Projects scaffolded with Kubebuilder can enable the [`metrics`][metrics] and the [`cert-manager`][cert-manager] options. Note that when we are using the ENV TEST we are looking to test the controllers and their reconciliation. It is considered an integrated test because the ENV TEST API will do the test against a cluster and because of this the binaries are downloaded and used to configure its pre-requirements, however, its purpose is mainly to `unit`test the controllers.
190
+
191
+
Therefore, to test a reconciliation in common cases you do not need to care about these options. However, if you would like to do tests with the Prometheus and the Cert-manager installed you can add the required steps to install them before running the tests.
192
+
Following an example.
193
+
194
+
```go
195
+
// Add the operations to install the Prometheus operator and the cert-manager
However, see that tests for the metrics and cert-manager might fit better well as e2e tests and not under the tests done using ENV TEST for the controllers. You might want to give a look at the [sample example][sdk-e2e-sample-example] implemented into [Operator-SDK][sdk] repository to know how you can write your e2e tests to ensure the basic workflows of your project.

+
Also, see that you can run the tests against a cluster where you have some configurations in place they can use the option to test using an existing cluster:
