ScalaTest 1.0 Released
Created by bagwell on 2009-10-26. Updated: 2009-10-26, 12:31Bill Venners, President of Artima has announced the availability of ScalaTest 1.0, an open source application for concisely creating test code for Java platform based applications that can run on multiple processor cores for parallel testing.
The principal contributors Bill, George Berger and Josh Cough have exploited the syntactic power of Scala to create a powerful testing framework that speeds up the whole testing process. The test code is intuitive to understand and is expressed in a very natural style. Thomas Knierim, a satisfied user, says of Scalatest "Nice piece of software. Simple and straightforward to use. I dropped the new jars into my existing Ant projects and the unit tests worked right out of the box."
