Groovy and Webtest - Produce verifiable tests without the expense

The problem with testing is you need to make certain that the test is validating a “true” business requirement. Most business folks can't read code, so they have to trust that we are testing the right stuff. The reports generated as part of the webtest process are actually human readable, so you can validate with the business stakeholders that your tests properly cover “true” requirements. Throw in Groovy and closures into the mix with WebTest and you have the ability to implement many high powered, clearly understandable tests taking full advantage of re-usable code allowing for many different tests with the same code block.

This session will include hands on examples to illustrate various techniques of writing Canoo Webtests using the Groovy language.
