What's new in ScalaTest?

ScalaTest (http://www.scalatest.org/) is modern framework for testing Java and Scala code. It integrates with JUnit, TestNG, and other existing tools, yet provides a much more concise way of writing tests by taking advantage of the Scala programming language. This talk will give a short overview of ScalaTest's goals and design, show how to use ScalaTest for test-driven, behavior-driven, and acceptance testing. It will show you how to take advantage of the functional style in your testing, and walk you through some of the newest features of ScalaTest, including enhanced support for property-based testing, the ScalaTest Shell, and the "FreeSpec."
