Building a Continuous Delivery pipeline with Gradle and Jenkins

Getting software from a developer's machine to a production environment without a fully automated process is time-consuming and error-prone. Continuous Delivery enables building, testing and deploying of software through build pipelines with well-defined quality gates.

In this session, we will discuss how to build an exemplary pipeline with the help of Gradle and Jenkins.

Next Level Spock

So you already know and love Spock, the Enterprise ready testing framework, but want to know how to make the most of it and take your testing to the next level? Then this talk is for you. Even if you're new to Spock, but are interested in making your testing more effective this talk is for you.

Spock has many hidden gems which we'll be going through in this session. We'll also be looking at some of the upcoming features in Spock 0.7 including; functionality and contract mixins, improved configurability, and several new lumps of syntax sugar.
