On the other hand, we want to test a very versatile and powerful scripting language, capable of doing simple string formats to start provisioning a Virtual Machine in Azure. As in test-driven development, it's expected that a particular set of guidelines are followed in order to properly test most of your code.
They might fit some of your needs, but do not expect 100% unit test code coverage and/or unlimited flexibility.

Although this tools are widely recommended, in Software Development there are no "silver-bullets". This article will uniquely focus on PowerShell unit test and static code analysis, providing an option for each scenario. Mostly due to time constrains or the lack of reliable tools to test PowerShell, Shell or Batch scripts. Unfortunately, when it comes to infrastructure code, developers tend to ignore the same strategies. Techniques like test-driven development are quite common in the object-oriented programming world. Nowadays, the development of software applications require a common set of strategies/practices so developers can feel confident about making new changes and/or refactoring existing code. With the reoccurring need of PowerShell to manage infrastructure setup, monitoring and deployment, it's vastly important that we have the right tools in place in order to keep PowerShell scripts organized and properly maintained.
