More than 12 years of active \r\ndevelopment on PowerShell, we have created many different script based\r\ntest frameworks. Early in 2015 we started the migration process of our\r\ninternally created script based framework tests to the [Pester \r\nframework](https://github.com/pester/Pester) and this project represents \r\nthe early fruits of that labor. Our plan is to continue to migrate our\r\ncurrent tests and release them in this Project, with the aim of having all \r\nof our tests available in the OSS community using OSS test frameworks.\r\n\r\nWe believe that by releasing these tests, our community can better understand\r\nhow we test, use these as models to better understand PowerShell, and\r\nparticipate with us as we release future versions.\r\n\r\nSome of the tests have either been _Skipped_ or marked as _Pending_, we \r\nexpect that these tests will be activated as product changes are made available\r\nin future releases.\r\n\r\n# Feedback\r\nThis project will grow over time, but we are currently not able to take\r\npull requests, but we _do_ want your input. If you find issues or other\r\nmisbehavior, please create an issue and we will review them to see how we can\r\naddress it.\r\n\r\n# Invoking the tests\r\nYou can either clone the project, or download a ZIP. Once the tests have \r\nbeen placed on your system, you can invoke them as you invoke any other\r\nPester test:\r\n```\r\n   PS\u003e Invoke-Pester\r\n```\r\nBecause a number of our tests create local sessions, it is suggested (for\r\nnow) that you run the tests in an elevated PowerShell session as non-admins,\r\nby default, will not have the appropriate permissions.\r\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpowershell%2Fpowershell-tests","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpowershell%2Fpowershell-tests","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpowershell%2Fpowershell-tests/lists"}
