function Describe {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Creates a logical group of tests.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Creates a logical group of tests. All Mocks and TestDrive contents
 
defined within a Describe block are scoped to that Describe; they
will no longer be present when the Describe block exits. A Describe
block may contain any number of Context and It blocks.
 
.PARAMETER Name
The name of the test group. This is often an expressive phrase describing
the scenario being tested.
 
.PARAMETER Fixture
The actual test script. If you are following the AAA pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert),
this typically holds the arrange and act sections. The Asserts will also lie
in this block but are typically nested each in its own It block. Assertions are
typically performed by the Should command within the It blocks.
 
.PARAMETER Tag
Optional parameter containing an array of strings. When calling Invoke-Pester,
it is possible to specify a -Tag parameter which will only execute Describe blocks
containing the same Tag.
 
.EXAMPLE
function Add-Numbers($a, $b) {
    return $a + $b
}
 
Describe "Add-Numbers" {
    It "adds positive numbers" {
        $sum = Add-Numbers 2 3
        $sum | Should Be 5
    }
 
    It "adds negative numbers" {
        $sum = Add-Numbers (-2) (-2)
        $sum | Should Be (-4)
    }
 
    It "adds one negative number to positive number" {
        $sum = Add-Numbers (-2) 2
        $sum | Should Be 0
    }
 
    It "concatenates strings if given strings" {
        $sum = Add-Numbers two three
        $sum | Should Be "twothree"
    }
}
