+Use this script to test a module locally. You can use it to run only the static validation (pester tests), a deployment validation (dryRun) or an actual deployment to Azure. In the latter cases the script also takes care to replace placeholder tokens in the used parameter file for you.

+You can find the script under `/utilities/tools/Test-ModuleLocally.ps1`
+
+# How it works
+
+If the switch for pester tests (`-PesterTest`) is provided the script will
+1. Invoke the global module test for the provided template file path and run all tests for it
+
+If the switch for either the validation test (`-ValidationTest`) or deployment test (`-DeploymentTest`) is provided alongside a HashTable for the token replacement (`-ValidateOrDeployParameters`), the script will
+1. Either fetch all parameter files of the module's parameter folder (default) or you can specify a single parameter file by leveraging the `parameterFilePath` parameter instead.
+1. Create a dictionary to replace all tokens in these parameter files with actual values. This dictionary will consist
+   - of the subscriptionID & managementGroupID of the provided `ValidateOrDeployParameters` object,
+   - add all key-value pairs of the `-AdditionalTokens` object to it,
+   - and optionally also add all key-value pairs specified in the `settings.json`'s `parameterFileTokens` object
+1. If the `-ValidationTest` parameter was set, it runs a deployment validation using the `Test-TemplateWithParameterFile` script
+1. If the `-DeploymentTest` parameter was set, it runs a deployment using the `New-ModuleDeployment` script (with no retries).
+1. As a final step it rolls the parameter files back to their original state if either the `-ValidationTest` or `-DeploymentTest` parameters were provided.
+
+# How to use it
+
+For details on how to use the function please refer to the script's local documentation.
+> **Note:** The script must be loaded before the function can be invoked
