I'd also like to suggest you take a look at some of the other puppetlabs-* modules for how we test types/providers. We don't exactly do a -fantastic- job of it. (I'm sure the real core developers would cry to read the tests) but generally speaking it's a reasonable place to crib from as you get up to speed:
https://github.com/apenney/puppetlabs-mysql/blob/master/spec/unit/puppet/provider/mysql_user/mysql_spec.rb https://github.com/apenney/puppetlabs-mysql/blob/master/spec/unit/puppet/type/mysql_user_spec.rb As a pair of tests you can look at.
