You should use my tool that retrofits all the files you need in your module automatically for spec testing.
https://github.com/nwops/puppet-retrospec gem install puppet-retrospec cd your_favorite_module retrospec puppet bundle install bundle exec rake spec If you question a previous file you created is not right, just delete and re-run retrospec to have it automatically re-created according to the retrospec templates. This tool isn't meant to automate the learning process, it just helps immensely with repetitive tasks. So you will still need to learn quite a bit to understand unit testing.
