Description
I have two similar DSC resources. So I made a base class that implements the Get() and Test() functions, but the Set() function is supplied by the derived classes. When I run the script analyzer, it things that the Get() and Test() functions are missing from the derived classes. I see this error:
PSDSCStandardDSCFunctionsInResource Error XX.Certificate.psm1 359 Missing 'Test' function. DSC Class must implement Get, Set and Test functions.

Research direction
Reproduce the report using XX.Certificate.psm1 at line 359 and inspect the analyzer rule that emits PSDSCStandardDSCFunctionsInResource. Compare how inherited Get() and Test() methods are detected for DSC classes; done means derived resources with those methods in a base class no longer produce missing-function errors.
