I don't necessarily agree or disagree with this statement.
Nils, a more "pure" way to test your plugin would be to, in your tests,
establish a game state and if necessary a "mock" game engine API. You then
initialize the game state, call your callback, and then verify the output
-- without the engine even running.
However, I understand that it can be very difficult (or even nigh
impossible) to decouple a game engine plugin from the engine itself
sometimes. Let me ask you this -- does the engine run externally to your
test executable, or can you run it within your test executable? Does it run
in its own thread(s) or can you trigger a single step / pass of the engine?
