Module
Documentarian.DevX
Summary
As a PowerShell module maintainer, I want to be able to validate that my public functions, classes, and enums have accurate and required documentation.
Details
We should define a suite of tests that are independent of the specifics of a module and validate the reference documentation for those modules.
Tests should include:
- Validate that all public functions have help that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- At least one example with code and contextual description.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every parameter.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every input.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every output.
- Validate that all public enums have help that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every value.
- Validate that all public classes have help that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- At least one example with code and contextual description.
- Documentation for every public constructor overload, including the default constructor if present, that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- At least one example with code and contextual description.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every parameter the constructor has.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every exception the constructor may throw.
- Documentation for every public property that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- Documentation for every public method that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis for the method.
- A non-empty and non-default description for the method.
- Documentation for every overload that includes:
- A non-empty and non-default synopsis.
- A non-empty and non-default description.
- At least one example with code and contextual description.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every parameter the overload has.
- A non-empty and non-default description for every exception the overload may throw.

Research direction
Start with the Documentarian.DevX module and determine where its module-independent validation tests belong. Define the test coverage for public functions, enums, and classes from the checklist, including required help content, overloads, parameters, inputs, outputs, properties, and exceptions; done means the suite validates each requirement.
