Automated Testing with Spock
Automated testing is a much needed practice in our industry. But, it takes discipline and diligence to write tests. Making automated testing fun can greatly help in that direction. Furthermore, creating fluent, expressive, and concise tests can help to maintain the tests in the long run. If you're keenly interested in creating automated tests for your Groovy and Java code, Spock is a great tool for it.
In this presentation we will start with a quick introduction to automated testing and levels of testing. Then we will dive into creating a small program using automated tests with Spock.
