    Currently the automated testing we have in the pipeline is only building the bicep into ARM, and running psrule against the biceps (which, I think, is essentially the same thing). We used to run the Test-command of PSBicep-module (https://github.com/PSBicep/PSBicep/blob/main/Docs/Help/Test-BicepFile.md), but ran into problems with that one, as the module tends to lack behind latest bicep features a bit - same thing with a lot of tooling like psrule.

    For Pull Requests, it compiles bicep into ARM templates and runs PSDocs for them an accompaying json file that holds versioning information and, document title and some additional information. Then it looks for ./test/module.test.bicep -file (which is just a copy of a suitable test suite from ResourceModules) and runs psrule against that. For runs triggered from main-branch, it queues the module publishing pipeline for every changed module.bicep found.
