cargo-test: Only run tests containing a specific string in their names.
$ cargo test ${testname}
try on your machine

The cargo test command is used in Rust programming language to run the tests present in a project. The ${testname} is an argument that specifies the name or pattern of the specific test or tests you want to run. It could be the name of a single test file or a pattern that matches multiple test files. For example, if you have a test file called my_tests.rs containing multiple tests, you can run all the tests in that file using the following command: cargo test my_tests If you want to run a specific test inside my_tests.rs with the name test_my_function, you can use: cargo test my_tests::test_my_function The ${testname} argument allows you to specify the exact tests you want to run, making it useful for targeting specific test cases during the development and debugging process.
