Testing in Scala: Scala Tools for Behavior-Driven Development

by Daniel Hinojosa

Book Overview

If you build your Scala application through Test-Driven Development, you'll quickly see the advantages of testing before you write production code. This hands-on book shows you how to create tests with ScalaTest and the Specs2--two of the best testing frameworks available--and how to run your tests in the Simple Build Tool (SBT) designed specifically for Scala projects.

By building a sample digital jukebox application, you'll discover how to isolate your tests from large subsystems and networks with mocking code, and how to use the ScalaCheck library for automated specification-based testing. If you're familiar with Scala, Ruby, or Python, this book is for you.
