OVF Thoughts

Here are few thoughts on potential improvements to the Operation Validation Framework module for executing Pester tests.

These ideas are meant to improve the flexibility of the Operation Validation Framework by adding the capability to override parameters used in Pester tests with user provided values. This would allow generic OVF modules that test core Infrastructure technologies to be published to public repositories like the PowerShell Gallery while allowing the user to tailor the tests to their environment.
