The Problem We Avoided for Years

dbatools has 3,500+ Pester tests spread across 707 test files. For years, we put off migrating from Pester v4 to v5 because the sheer volume felt impossible. The thought of manually converting hundreds of test files, each with their own quirks, edge cases, and complex SQL Server integration scenarios, was overwhelming.

But avoiding it wasn't making it go away. Pester v4 was deprecated, and we knew we'd have to migrate eventually. The question wasn't if, but when and how.
