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.
