Test Driven Development with Spock
Saturday - Oct 18 1:30 PM PDT - Salon 3
Spock brings fluency, nice DSL like syntax for writing unit tests. Spock leverages JUnit, but helps makes tests a lot more expressive. Mocking is baked in as well.
In this presentation we will take a look at Spock to unit test both Java and Groovy code. We will build an example, test driven, and along the way explore the features of this powerful tool.
