[NTSysADM] RE: PowerShell unit testing

What is TDD? Test driven development. If you're only banging off simple scripts, not worth the effort but if you write anything large that requires ongoing maintenance, it's a discipline that pays off. In a nutshell, you write a unit test that defines what you put in and what you want out.
