I really like this syntax from Specs2 in order to test for equality:
1 + 1 === 2
instead of:
assert(1+1 == 2)
or the English-like synonims.
Can this syntax also be used in ScalaTest?
Here is the list of matchers that ScalaTest and Specs2 supports.
It is described as supported in the docs of ScalaTest, so yes:
http://www.scalatest.org/user_guide/using_matchers#checkingEqualityWithMatchers
result should === (3) // can customize equality and enforce type constraints
