Severity

[spaelling]

The Maester test results can be quite overwhelming, especially for novices. One of the major decisions is where to start (with failed tests), and this is where the concept of severity comes into play.

Optimally this is an entirely separate function along with category and tags, but to make this trivial to implement we could use the tag functionality. I would suggest simply adding one of the following tags to each Maester test

• Severity:Critical
• Severity:High
• Severity:Medium
• Severity:Low

This also means that we can utilize the existing functionality of running tests with a specific tag.

Invoke-Maester -Tag "Severity:High"

Which allows us to create a report with the highest severity tests first, and then work our way down.

I think this is a great idea
