Tutorial #1<\/strong><\/td>Introduction to Spock and Groovy<\/a><\/strong>
\n
\nThis introductory tutorial will explain all about Spock, which is a test framework that\u2019s built on top of Groovy. It enforces BDD at the core and ensures all tests written using the framework follows the BDD conventions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tutorial #2<\/strong><\/td>Writing Unit Tests with Spock<\/a><\/strong>
\n
\nIn this tutorial, we will walk through all the details\/steps that are required to get started with Unit testing in Spock along with simple examples.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tutorial #3<\/strong><\/td>Parameterized Testing With Spock<\/a><\/strong>
\n
\nThis tutorial will clearly explain what parameterized tests are and how you can leverage the in-built features of Spock to achieve data-driven testing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tutorial #4<\/strong><\/td>Spock Mocking and Stubbing<\/a><\/strong>
\n
\nThis Spock tutorial will explain in detail about Mocking and Stubbing which are one of the most essential building blocks of extensive Unit tests.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tutorial #5<\/strong><\/td>Spock with Selenium Functional Test<\/a><\/strong>
\n
\nLearn how to use Spock for Integration testing (like rest services) and for functional testing from this informative tutorial. For Example, Integrating Spock with Selenium.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

What is Spock?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spock is a test framework that\u2019s built on top of Groovy. It enforces BDD at the core and ensures that all tests written using the framework follow the BDD conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, unlike JUnit, Spock has its own Mocking and test double libraries as well as full support for parameterized test scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is due to this complete package in itself, that the Spock specifications are super readable and expressive, and as a result, they make the test achieve more and more of what it was intended for reducing the clich\u00e9 boilerplate code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all these cool features, Spock tests are runnable using the existing JUnit test runner & the existing command line\/build tools like Maven and Gradle, which make it even more compelling to use. In a nutshell, Spock combines all the good features of JUnit, BDD<\/a> (frameworks like JBehave & Cucumber<\/a>) as well as mocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will take a look at a couple of examples illustrating each of these features in the further sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
