Last year I had an idea to create a tool to automate the buildout of puppet 
unit tests by inspecting puppet code inside puppet manifests. Along with this 
idea I also wanted to retrofit any puppet module with the latest best 
practices, gems, rake commands and other stuff in development within the 
community. So today I am releasing a revamped version of this tool in the form 
of a retrospec plugin. 

I am happy to announce availability of this tool for mass consumption. I have 
been using my own tool over the past few months almost every day and I can no 
longer keep this tool a secret as I know it will save you hours of time and 
frustration. 

The reason I built this tool is simply because unit testing is too difficult 
for the average puppet coder. There are just too many blogs, ruby versions, 
gems, and other tools to learn. When I first started unit testing, 
I documented my problems and setup procedures and eventually committed them to 
code to make them easily reproducible. I have reduced the typical learning 
curve of several weeks down to a few simple key strokes. 

I’m confident that you will love this tool and use it everyday to assist in the 
creation of your modules. 

To get started: 'gem install puppet-retrospec && retrospec puppet' inside your 
favorite puppet module directory.
