Spec: Run your test faster, safer and prettier
summary
Spec and Checks aim to make Dart/Flutter tests faster, safer and clearer: Spec runs tests in parallel (monorepo-friendly via Melos), groups failures at the end for easy debugging, and offers a Spec action for quick GitHub CI setup — the demo shows >2,000 tests passing. Checks (Dart team) replaces expect with type-safe subject<T> matchers, provides built-in string/list/map assertions, deep equality, unordered equals, a has/get flow, and simple custom extensions, letting projects migrate gradually while improving IDE completion and failure messages.
