Workshop: Testing with Spock and Geb
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
In this workshop, Peter and Marcin will take you from the basics of the Spock syntax, through using Spock's own mocking framework, to testing web applications with Geb. They will introduce topics through short presentations, but most of the session will involve you coding through exercises, so don't forget to bring laptops! You'll also discover plenty of tricks and tips to make your tests more expressive and easier to maintain.
Prerequisites: a laptop with a JDK installed and either a text editor or an IDE with Groovy and Gradle support enabled.
