+- Never add `param()` inside Pester blocks when using `-ForEach`
+- Access test case properties directly: `$PropertyName`

   [issue #2231](https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues/2231).
+- Added public command `Test-SqlDscDatabaseProperty` to test database properties
+  on SQL Server Database Engine instances. This command supports two parameter sets:
+  `ServerObject` with **DatabaseName**, and `DatabaseObject` (from `Get-SqlDscDatabase`).
+  It allows users to specify any non-collection properties of the SMO Database object
+  as dynamic parameters to test, returning `$true` if all tested properties match
+  their expected values, and `$false` otherwise. This command improves maintainability
+  of SQL DSC resources and provides granular database configuration testing
