Testing question

I am trying to wrap my head around testing. What exactly do you test? I do mostly scripts for admin stuff and not modules. My scripts do things like run a program and then email the generated log file to me. Would you test that? What fits the criteria for "it needs a test"? Thanks, Robert --
