A low‑code PowerShell module called Cat PowerShell module claims one‑line install (about 15 seconds, 30 MB) and lets teams turn SQL, Postgres, Power BI and Fabric checks into repeatable tests that run in Azure DevOps pipelines. Examples show row‑count and date‑range comparisons, metadata‑driven test generation from YAML or Excel, and cross‑system reconciliation; a demo compares Postgres, DW and Power BI results. Free to try until scheduled automation, reported 20% of projects reach production without trust. invoke-cat project supports Fabric
