testing

Is there a "best practice" or defacto standard with how much of the GORM functionality one should test in the unit/functional tests?

My take is that one should probably do most of the domain testing as functional tests so that you get the full grails environment. But what do you test? Inserts, updates, deletes? Do you test constraints even though they were probably more thoroughly tested by the grails release?

Or do you just assume that GORM does what it is supposed to do and move to other parts of the application?
