• Best practices for using build caching: In this final section, we'll explore some best practices for using build caching in your projects. Next, you'll learn about the different types of data that you should cache and how to avoid common pitfalls when using build caching.

Part 4: Build Scans

• What is a build scan? First, we'll go over what a build scan is and then learn how to read it.
• Information captured in a build scan: We'll start by covering various types of information that's captured in a build scan. Then, we'll go into the details of each of them, like information about the build environment, system properties, tasks executed, and dependencies resolved.
• How to create and view build scans: We'll show you how to create a build scan with the Gradle Enterprise plugin.
• Using build scans to troubleshoot Gradle builds: First, we'll cover some of the common errors during a build. Then, you'll learn how to use build scans to find the root cause. Later in this section, we'll also show you how to use build scans to troubleshoot failed Gradle builds.

Part 5: Dependency Management

• What is dependency management? In this section, we'll learn about Gradle Enterprise and how it can help manage dependencies within your project.
• How to use dependency management with Gradle Enterprise: In this section, we'll learn about how to manage dependencies within your project using Gradle Enterprise.
• What are the benefits of using dependency management? In this section, we'll learn about the benefits of using Gradle Enterprise to manage dependencies within your project.

Part 6: Collaboration Tools

• How to comment and annotate your build scans: As you might already know, comments provide context about what was happening during a build. On the other hand, you can use annotations to mark builds with important information. This section will cover how to include comments and annotations in your build scans.
• Working effectively with other members of your team: In this section, you'll learn how to implement new features, fix bugs, and improve the quality of your software projects
• Best practices for Gradle Enterprise: In this section, you'll learn best practices around collaboration when using Gradle Enterprise with your build.

Part 7: Build Monitoring and Reporting

• What is build monitoring? In this section, you'll learn about the build monitoring features of Gradle Enterprise and how to use them to get feedback about your builds.
• What is build reporting? In this section, you'll learn about the build reporting features of Gradle Enterprise.

Part 8: Course Wrap-up

• Questions and answers: You get all your questions answered during this section.
• Summary: This section will recap all the topics you've learned in the boot camp.
