The Test Driven Development with Scala training course focuses on helping Scala developers and QA engineers write effective and complete tests for Scala based applications.
The Effective Testing Scala course begins with a introduction to test driven design concepts and the significance of TDD to modern software development. It then transitions into the mechanical aspects of testing with Scala, covering things like the SBT, ScalaTest, and Specifications.
Along the way, you’ll will learn different testing strategies, how to work with Mock Objects, and how to effectively test Scala frameworks like Akka and Play.
Course Summary
Hands-on training is customized, instructor-led training with an in-depth presentation of a technology and its concepts, featuring such topics as Java, OOAD, and Open Source.
