About this Presentation
Functional Web Testing - everyone wants it, (almost) everyone struggles with it. In this talk, we will demonstrate how to tame the beast with Spock and Geb, two popular testing tools from the Groovy/Java world. The goal is to arrive at readable, executable and maintainable specifications that still make sense the day after they have been written. Join in and judge for yourself!
Luke & Peter are the creators of the Geb & Spock frameworks respectively. Come and learn about how to put these tools to good use on your current projects.
