In my previous blog post, I demonstrated how to use PSRule to validate Azure API Management policies by defining several custom rules, each with specific logic. As a fan of Test Driven Development, I created these rules following a test-first approach. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to write automated tests for these PSRule rules using Pester, a popular testing framework for PowerShell.
I’ve been working with Azure API Management for a while now, and one of the challenges I’ve faced is finding a reliable way to validate the XML policies I write. While tools like SonarQube are excellent for code quality checks, they don’t support the specific checks required for Azure API Management policies. In this blog post, I’ll demonstrate how to use PSRule to validate your Azure API Management policies effectively.
