Rust Test Execution with cargo-nextest: Speed, Isolation, and Reports

A practical two-hour session on Rust Test Execution with cargo-nextest, focused on Speed, Isolation, and Reports. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Test Execution with cargo-nextest
• Apply Speed in a small working example
• Apply Isolation in a small working example
• Apply and Reports in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
