PsUnit is now updated with a framework. I had the same problem as you a few months ago and I felt PsUnit was to big and complex for the number of scripts I had to write so I wrote my own unit test framework for PS. PS have the same kind of charectaristics as other script languages likepython for example, i.e. you can override functions anywhere at any time even with scope in the test methods which is great for faking (a.k.a. mocking). That is, if you have a function or object you want to test that depends on other functions you can declare them in your test method to create a local fake implementation.
