Test plugins evaluate template expressions and return True or False. With test plugins you can create :ref:`conditionals <playbooks_conditionals>` to implement the logic of your tasks, blocks, plays, playbooks, and roles. Ansible uses the `standard tests `_ shipped as part of Jinja, and adds some specialized test plugins. You can :ref:`create custom Ansible test plugins <developing_test_plugins>`.

Enabling test plugins

----------------------

You can add a custom test plugin by dropping it into a ``test_plugins`` directory adjacent to your play, inside a role, or by putting it in one of the test plugin directory sources configured in :ref:`ansible.cfg <ansible_configuration_settings>`.
