Pester

Objective

I wanted to make a convention based Powershell Unit testing framework that didn't require the following:

• Installer of any sort
• Changing a users Profile script

The things I wanted it to do is:

• Find all tests by some sort of convention
• Emulate RSpec assertions and fixture setup
• Create NUnit XML reports

Some further reading:

• powershell-bdd-testing-pester-screencast
• pester-bdd-for-the-system-administrator

Added NUnit xml creation:

• Invoke-Pester -OutputXML results.xml to write a nunit 2.5 results xml.
