Smarter Testing with Spock

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.

Functional Web Testing with Geb and Spock

Geb is a next generation Functional Web Testing tool that removes the ceremony and tedium of traditional web testing, leaving you with a concise, pragmatic and productive environment in which to work. It combines the power of Groovy with the WebDriver/Selenium 2.0 browser automation library to provide a programmer's DSL for modeling pages (known as the PageObject Pattern) and easily automating real browsers such as Internet Explorer, FireFox and Chrome as well as the HTMLUnit library. Geb can be used standalone, or with testing frameworks such as Spock, JUnit, EasyB or Cucumber.

In this session, you will learn everything you need to know to start using Geb in your own projects. We will cover Geb's programming model, solve real-world testing challenges, and show how Geb integrates with your environment.
