Tagging and Selective Execution in ScalaTest

As Scala projects grow, test suites can become slow and cumbersome, making development cycles inefficient. This course provides the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to organize and manage your tests effectively, allowing you to run only the specific subsets of tests required for your current task. What you'll learn: * Understand the core components and structure of a modern ScalaTest suite setup. * Learn how to define and apply custom tags to categorize tests based on scope or execution time. * Practice configuring build tools to selectively include or exclude tests using defined tags. * Master the use of exclusion rules to temporarily ignore tests that are failing, flaky, or exceptionally long-running. * Apply best practices for maintaining a clean and efficient testing workflow in continuous integration environments. We begin by covering foundational testing terminology and the basic ScalaTest setup, then move into hands-on exercises for tagging, exclusion, and advanced selective execution configurations. This course is designed for beginner Scala developers who are starting to write unit and integration tests and need efficient ways to manage their growing test suites. No prior advanced testing experience is required. Start reading today and bring efficiency back to your Scala development process.
