Learning Scala Web Development (Video 19)

This video tutorial covers the development of test cases for web services and APIs using the Spray Test Kit. It explores integration with Scala Test and Specs2 frameworks, demonstrating simple and advanced test cases. The tutorial also discusses code coverage tools like Scoverage and emphasizes the importance of TDD practices. Finally, it introduces caching techniques for RESTful web services.
