DscResource.Test

This is a PowerShell module designed to help testing your projects against HQRM guidelines.

You can run the tests against the source of your project or against a built module.
The format expected for your project follows the Sampler template (basically the source code in a source/src/ModuleName folder, and a built version in the output folder).

Usage

Although this module is best used as part of the Sampler template pipeline automation, you can also use this in a standalone or custom way.

Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery:

Install-Module DscResource.test

Execute against a Built module:

Invoke-DscResourceTest -Module UpdateServicesDsc

Dependencies

This module depends on:

• Pester: This is a collection of generic Pester tests to run against your built module or source code.
• PSScriptAnalyzer: Some tests are just validating you comply with some of the guidances set in PSSA rules and with custom rules.
• DscResource.AnalyzerRules: This is the custom rules we've created to enforce a standard across the DscResource module we look after as a community.
• xDscResourceDesigner: Because it offers MOF and DSC Resource testing capabilities.
