10 Minutes of Property Testing (Andrea Magnorsky)

In tune with the testing theme of this meetup, lets have a quick birds eye view of what and how to property test.

Testing in Future Space ( Bill Venners )

In ScalaTest 3.0's new async testing styles, tests have a result type of Future[Assertion]. Instead of blocking until a future completes, then performing assertions on the result, you map assertions onto the future and return the resulting Future[Assertion] to ScalaTest. The test will complete asynchronously when the Future[Assertion] completes. This way of testing requires a different mindset. In this talk I'll walk you through the design, show you how to use it, and suggest best practices for async testing on both the JVM and Scala.js.
