Meanwhile, the modules Microsoft itself ships go through a pipeline that most open-source projects never set up. That pipeline is built from three tools — <strong>Pester</strong> (3,330 stars), <strong>PSScriptAnalyzer</strong> (2,153 stars), and <strong>PlatyPS</strong> (872 stars) — and together they turn &ldquo;a script someone shared&rdquo; into &ldquo;a module you can ship to production and maintain for years.&rdquo;</p>
