I am learning every day from your videos. I always refer when required.

10:55 - gmo, built in alias for get module, these are modules imported into the powershell environment 11:28 - to check module is installed but not imported

Thank again for another video providing a wealth of detail around my current understanding of PS! and making my 2do list much longer :)

Excellent video for getting into the basics of Pester. Also learned some new VSCode shortcuts, thanks!

Described very well. Just one request if you can make some tutorials on the powershell on beginner level to advance

Very helpful to getting started with Pester, so thanks! BTW, what color theme do you use in VS code?

Excellent video. Thanks for teaching. 1. Is it possible to run Pester tests just without using any terminal (at bottom of VS Code) and instead just in the code editor only using mouse, like debugging the code? 2. May I ask how did you record this video by putting another subwindow with your face on corner? I think it good for me to produce something similar to coach my colleagues in my team like what you do here.

Thank you! I'm glad this was useful for you. Yes you should be able to run Pester test scripts just like any other PowerShell script. You don't necessarily have to use the Invoke-Pester command. It's been a while since I've done this, but feel free to give it a try! 2. I use OBS to record videos. You can create "scenes" with multiple data sources like screen capture, camera, images and video, and other assets. I have a green screen behind me that allows me to cut myself out accurately. 😊 Good luck!
