Spock Testing Framework
Published September 8th, 2010 Under Functional Testing | Leave a Comment
Spock is a behavior driven development framework for Java and Groovy applications. What makes it stand out from the crowd is its beautiful and highly expressive specification language. Thanks to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools and continuous integration servers. This video gives a talk and practical demonstration on the Spock testing framework.

Grails Plugin Testing
Published May 3rd, 2010 Under Functional Testing | Leave a Comment
In the last year or two, there has been a veritable explosion in the number of Grails plugins out there. Without proper testing, however, they run the risk of falling into disuse as users avoid them. In this interactive session, we will use several techniques to test different aspects of a Grails plugin. This will include functional testing via Selenium RC and testing of scripts.

Gradle Deep Dive
Published December 30th, 2009 Under Configuration Management | Leave a Comment
Gradle combines the flexibility of Ant with a build-by-convention approach a la Maven. But both implemented in a more powerful and less restrictive way. In this session you will learn about Gradle’s rich domain model, which provides a true build language. Hans will explain how Gradle offers the abstractions that Ant misses, without the restrictions and obstacles of a rigid framework. Through examples, Hans will also show how Gradle is particularly suitable for enterprise builds and how it supports many optimization strategies that enable fast, yet reliable development. During his demo, Hans will introduce Gradle with a simple ‘hello world’ build and then work with a plain Java and a Java Web project. From there we go to a more complex multi-project build, during which we will discuss major Gradle features.

Testing Grails Applications with Selenium RC
Published November 25th, 2009 Under Functional Testing | Leave a Comment
Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. In this session, Rob Fletcher gives a talk on his experience using Selenium RC with the Grail framework.
