SBT/Scala and Integration testing

I found the answer to the question. SBT provides means to do integration test and also setup and cleanup methods to do things like creation / destruction of docker containers

http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Testing.html

A simple solution is to run $ sbt "~ it:test" (make sure integration test are in a package named 'it') for integration test which will automatically run every time source code is updated. Furthermore, $sbt "~ test" for automated unit testing. If you are using a IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA, you can make it easier to run this in a custom configuration from the IDE. Hope this helps a little bit. I run these all the time when working.
