How to Use Pester to Test Your PowerShell Code
April 19, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
SMMUG in Bangor ME
PowerShell is a wonderful and easy to learn development framework for technical professionals. And now that it has been ported across Windows, Linux, and MacOS platforms, the sky’s the limit! But, like with any other programming language, there’s always going to be bugs, errors, and broken dependencies introduced into your scripts, functions, and modules as new code is written. Fortunately, PowerShell has an snazzy module named Pester that can be harnessed for testing and mocking your code!
In this session, join Chris Wahl as he covers an introduction to unit testing, the Pester module, and live code samples using an open source project named Vester. You’ll learn about building test blocks, how to mock specific cmdlets and functions, and some common practices for healthy code coverage.
Presenter: Chris Wahl, author of the award winning Wahl Network blog and host of the Datanauts Podcast, focuses on creating content that
