From the PowerShell reference 1 parameter
What it does
Verifies that a module manifest file accurately describes the contents of a module. The Test-ModuleManifest cmdlet verifies that the files that are listed in the module manifest (.psd1) file are actually in the specified paths. This cmdlet is designed to help module authors test their manifest files. Module users can also use this cmdlet in scripts and commands to detect errors before they run scripts that depend on the module. Test-ModuleManifest returns an object that represents the module. This is the same type of object that Get-Module returns. If any files are not in the locations specified in the manifest, the cmdlet also generates an error for each missing file.
