About

Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell. Adding Pester tests to Powershell code will enhance code quality and allows you to start creating predictable changes. Visual Studio Code comes with full support for Pester allowing you to create tests quickly. Pester integrates nicely with TFS, Azure, Github, Jenkins, and other CI servers, allowing you to fully automate your development lifecycle. Pester provides a framework for writing and running tests. Pester is most commonly used for writing unit and integration tests, but it is not limited to just that. It is also a base for tools that validate whole environments, computer deployments, database configurations, and so on. Pester tests can execute any command or script that is accessible to a Pester test file. This includes functions, Cmdlets, Modules, and scripts. Pester can be run locally, where it integrates well with Visual Studio Code, and it can of course be integrated into a build script in a CI pipeline.

About

PowerShellGet is a module with commands for discovering, installing, updating, and publishing PowerShell artifacts like modules, DSC resources, role capabilities, and scripts. The Find-Command cmdlet finds PowerShell commands such as cmdlets, aliases, functions, and workflows. Find-Command searches modules in registered repositories. For each command found by Find-Command, a PSGetCommandInfo object is returned. The PSGetCommandInfo object can be sent down the pipeline to the Install-Module cmdlet. Install-Module installs the module that contains the command. DSC resources can be located using the parameters Tag and RequiredVersion. Tag displays the current version of every resource that contains the specified tag in the repository. RequiredVersion needs the ModuleName parameter and the Name parameter is optional. The Name and ModuleName parameters limit the output. Use the AllVersions parameter to display a DSC resource's available versions.
