GGUG:Improving Collaboration with Selenium IDE
Improving Collaboration with Selenium IDE
Stephen Cresswell will be presenting at this month's Groovy Grails UG on natural language testing. Natural language testing is where the tests that you write are in natural language, rather than code. This can make it much easier for non-developers to create test cases and is particularly important in the areas of acceptance testing and functional testing. This session will show how jQuery, jBehave and a small set of custom extensions were used in the development of VisualHospital (a pull-based patient management system resulting from lean healthcare research) to add behavioural support to Selenium IDE. By building a flexible DSL for functional testing and by test driving from the outside in, we created a low maintenance, highly expressive test suite, while retaining the benefits of Selenium IDE's minimalist interface. The combination of a simple test client and tests written in the business domain language triggered a natural evolution in our development process, dramatically enhancing collaboration between technical and non-technical team members. Other benefits included a test suite that genuinely documents the system, improved class design, consistent page structure and reduction in test duration.

GR8Conf Europe 2011

GR8Conf is an affordable conference dedicated to the Groovy dynamic language, the Grails web framework, the Griffon Swing framework, and other great technologies, such as Gradle, Spock, GPars, and more. This year, the conference is growing. We kick of the conference with a university day. Here we have two tracks, one intermediate and one advanced, with workshops and hands-on training. The intermediate will kickstart your Groovy and Grails development skills with a Groovy workshop, followed by a Grails workshop. The advanced track will feature an AST transformations workshop, followed by a Grails plugin workshop. The university day is optional. Find out more here

Dierk Koenig's Practical Groovy for Developers

Dierk Koenig's Practical Groovy for Developers Workshop will get you proficient with Groovy, Java's dynamic friend. Groovy has become the de-facto standard for dynamic programming on the Java platform. This workshop introduces you to Groovy and its areas of applicability with real-world examples.

Gojko Adzic's BDD for Developers

This hands-on BDD workshop will help you get the key skills needed to succeed with behaviour driven development and specification by example. Through simulations and practical exercises, you will apply the ideas and practices of BDD to solve the most common issues development teams have with specifications and tests. You will use Cucumber to define and automate BDD scenarios to provide stakeholders with visibility into software features and help the delivery teams drive development and build quality in from the start.

ABOUT THE GGUG
The Groovy & Grails User Group was founded in 2007, a few months prior to the first Groovy & Grails eXchange.

The Groovy & Grails UG aims to meet once every month or so, providing an opportunity for Groovy & Grails experts, programmers and enthusiasts to learn, meet and discuss.

The Groovy & Grails UG (UK) also discusses events and ideas on the G&G UG (UK) LinkedIN Group
