Smarter Testing with Spock
ÜberConf
Denver · July 12 - 15, 2011
About this Presentation
Spock is a developer testing framework for Java and Groovy applications. Even though it is fully JUnit-compatible on the outside, Spock isn't just another JUnit clone - its goal is to take developer testing to the next level! With its Groovy-powered and highly expressive testing language, Spock boosts productivity and brings back the fun to testing.
In the first part of this session, Spock's approach to state-based, data-driven, and behavior-based testing will be demonstrated. Next, we will explore some of Spock's extensions, in particular the Grails plugin and the Spring TestContext Framework integration. Finally, we will look under the covers of Spock and write our own extension. Along the way, expect to see lots of code and live demos.
