It's amazing capabilities open many possibilities for you and it can be used in several scenarios:
- For system administrators: quick and easy way to deal with the system in a consistent way. You'll have the power of many built-in commands, the .net CLR. Using it, you can perform several tasks like managing the file system and permissions, monitor even log, work with Active Directory. And so much more.
- As a Developer: you can use PowerShell commands to automate some systems like exchange server from your application.

- As a tester: PowerShell can be used for testing automation. With its easy to use commands and the simple syntax, I believe it's very suitable for this purpose. Have a look at: Why Should I Test With PowerShell?
