Talking Pester on The PowerShell Podcast

I was a guest on the July 13th episode of The PowerShell Podcast with Andrew Pla.
The episode, Write the Test First – Robert Prüst on Pester, PSConf, and Learning in Public, is now available!

You can listen or watch on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Podbean or Spotify. It’s just under an hour.

Doing a podcast

Andrew reached out and made this happen. It was a great experience for me to talk just about everything PowerShell… he made me feel very at ease and while I thought it might feel scripted or formal, it ended up being a very natural conversation.

We had discussed a few topics such as Pester and PSConfEU before that might be interesting to touch on, but besides that it was mostly a free-flowing conversation about PowerShell, testing, and community involvement. Sorry again if I kept rambling on, but it was a lot of fun!

One of the things that came up is the VS Code extension I built for Azure DevOps pipelines — more on that in its own post.

If the Pester part makes you want to start, my getting started with Pester post is the place to begin — and Pester 6 came out just the week before the episode.

Thanks again, Andrew, for having me!

Happy scripting 😊
