The document outlines a PowerShell testing framework utilizing Pester for unit and functional tests, detailing commands for executing tests and analyzing code quality. It emphasizes the importance of mocking, state isolation, and ensuring that tests validate expected outputs and exceptions properly. Additionally, it provides links to relevant GitHub repositories and blog resources for further exploration of PowerShell testing practices.

27. $testFiles = Get-Item ".src*.tests.ps1"
Invoke-Pester -Path $testFiles

28. $testFiles = Get-Item ".src*.tests.ps1"
$sourceFiles = Get-Item ".src*.ps1" –Exclude *.Tests.ps1
Invoke-Pester -Path $testFiles
-CodeCoverage $sourceFiles

30. Unit Tests Functional Tests
• Test for expected output
values and exceptions
• Mock all commands that
change machine state
• Assert that mocks have
been called the
expected number of
times
• Test for actual state
change
• Minimal usage of Mock
objects
• Use TestDrive to isolate
state changes where
possible
