You can use the combination of Terraform and Yeoman. Terraform is a tool for creating infrastructure on Azure. Yeoman makes it easy to create Terraform modules.

Terratest provides a collection of helper functions and patterns for common infrastructure testing tasks, like making HTTP requests and using SSH to access a specific virtual machine. The following list describes some of the major advantages of using Terratest:

-> Convenient helpers to check infrastructure - This feature is useful when you want to verify your real infrastructure in the real environment.

-> Organized folder structure - Your test cases are organized clearly and follow the standard Terraform module folder structure.

-> Test cases are written in Go - Many developers who use Terraform are Go developers. If you're a Go developer, you don't have to learn another programming language to use Terratest.

-> Extensible infrastructure - You can extend additional functions on top of Terratest, including Azure-specific features.

To deploy an Azure resource group using Terraform from a Windows system, you need to install the necessary frameworks that support the deployment. The two frameworks that need to be installed are:

C. Node.js: Terraform is written in the Go programming language, and it requires Node.js to be installed on the system to use Azure's Terraform provider. The Azure Terraform provider is a plugin that allows Terraform to interact with Azure resources. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that provides the necessary infrastructure to run JavaScript-based applications, including the Azure Terraform provider.

E. Tiller: Tiller is the server-side component of Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes. Terraform can use Helm charts to deploy Kubernetes resources, and Tiller is required to manage the installation and deployment of these charts. Tiller is a server-side component that runs within the Kubernetes cluster and communicates with the Helm client to manage chart installation and deployment.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Node.js and E. Tiller. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not required for deploying an Azure resource group using Terraform on a Windows system.
