Using PowerShell’s Pester framework to perform Terraform testing

In this recipe, we will learn how to write and execute tests on our Terraform configuration using a testing framework.

This framework called Pester is a PowerShell library that allows us to write several types of tests.

With Pester, you can write tests that verify the behavior of your PowerShell scripts and ensure that they meet the expected requirements. Pester supports a wide range of tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and acceptance tests. It also includes powerful mocking capabilities, which can help you simulate complex scenarios and test your scripts in isolation.

Pester uses a simple syntax that is easy to understand and learn. Tests are written in PowerShell script files, which makes it easy to integrate them into your development workflow. Pester can be run from the command line, which makes it easy to automate your testing process and integrate it into your CI/CD pipeline.
