+### Test Plugin
+
+If your intended PR creates a new plugin, make sure the PR also provides test cases. Testing should include:
+
+1. `e2e tests` to validate the behavior of the proposed plugin.
+2. `sample projects` to verify the scaffolded output from the plugin.
+
+#### 1. Plugin E2E Tests
+
+All the plugins provided by Kubebuilder should be validated through `e2e-tests` across multiple platforms.
+
+Current Kubebuilder provides the testing framework that includes testing code based on [ginkgo](https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo), [Github Actions](https://github.com/Kavinjsir/kubebuilder/blob/docs%2Ftest-plugin/.github/workflows/testdata.yml) for unit tests, and multiple env tests driven by [test-infra](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/config/jobs/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/kubebuilder-presubmits.yaml).
+
+To fully test the proposed plugin:
+
+1. Create a new package(folder) under `test/e2e/<your-plugin>`.
+2. Create [e2e_suite_test.go](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/v4/e2e_suite_test.go), which imports the necessary testing framework.
+3. Create `generate_test.go` ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/v4/generate_test.go)). That should:
+   - Introduce/Receive a `TextContext` instance
+   - Trigger the plugin's bound subcommands. See [Init](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L213), [CreateAPI](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.6.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L222)
+   - Use [PluginUtil](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v3/pkg/plugin/util) to verify the scaffolded outputs. See [InsertCode](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/pkg/plugin/util/util.go#L67), [ReplaceInFile](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.6.0/pkg/plugin/util/util.go#L196), [UncommendCode](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.6.0/pkg/plugin/util/util.go#L86)
+4. Create `plugin_cluster_test.go` ([ref](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/v4/plugin_cluster_test.go)). That should:
+
+   - 4.1. Setup testing environment, e.g:
+
+     - Cleanup environment, create temp dir. See [Prepare](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L97)
+     - If your test will cover the provided features then, ensure that you install prerequisites CRDs: See [InstallCertManager](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L138), [InstallPrometheusManager](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.6.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L171)
+
+   - 4.2. Run the function from `generate_test.go`.
+
+   - 4.3. Further make sure the scaffolded output works, e.g:
+
+     - Execute commands in your `Makefile`. See [Make](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L240)
+     - Temporary load image of the testing controller. See [LoadImageToKindCluster](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L283)
+     - Call Kubectl to validate running resources. See [utils.Kubectl](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v3/test/e2e/utils#Kubectl)
+
+   - 4.4. Delete temporary resources after testing exited, e.g:
+     - Uninstall prerequisites CRDs: See [UninstallPrometheusOperManager](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L183)
+     - Delete temp dir. See [Destroy](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/utils/test_context.go#L255)
+
+5. Add the command in [test/e2e/plugin](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/v3.7.0/test/e2e/setup.sh#L65) to run your testing code:
+
+```shell
+go test $(dirname "$0")/<your-plugin-test-folder> $flags -timeout 30m
+```
+
+#### 2. Sample Projects from the Plugin
+
+It is also necessary to test consistency of the proposed plugin across different env and the integration with other plugins.
+
+This is performed by generating sample projects based on the plugins. The CI workflow defined in Github Action would validate the availability and the consistency.
+
+See:

+Kubebuilder and SDK are both broadly adopted projects which leverage the [controller-runtime][controller-runtime] project. They both allow users to build solutions using the [Operator Pattern][operator-pattern] and follow common standards.
 
 Adopting these standards can bring significant benefits, such as joining forces on maintaining the common standards as the features provided by Kubebuilder and take advantage of the contributions made by the community. This allows you to focus on the specific needs and requirements for your plugin and use-case.
 
 And then, you will also be able to use custom plugins and options currently or in the future which might to be provided by these projects as any other which decides to persuade the same standards.

-- [Config-gen][config-gen]: the config-gen option has been provided as an alpha option in the Kubebuilder CLI(`kubebuilder alpha config-gen`) to encourage its contributions. The idea of this option would simplify the config scaffold. For further information see its [README][config-gen-readme].
