5:45-7:15: Are you Mocking Me (with Spock)
Spock is a Groovy-based testing framework that leverages all the “best practices” of the last several years taking advantage of many of the development experiences of the industry. So combine Junit, BDD, RSpec, Groovy, and Vulcans… and you get Spock!
There are 3 tools I use on every Java project I control… this is one of them and with good reason.
This session assumes some understanding of testing and junit and builds on it. We will introduce and dig deep into Spock as a test specification and mocking tool.
Topics include:
– Unit testing
– Data-driven tests
– Mocking
– Stubbing Partial Mocks Spock Extensions
