Unit testing with Spock Framework
9 likes6,747 views
The document discusses unit testing with the Spock testing framework. It introduces Spock and outlines key concepts like the three pillars of good unit tests, Spock idioms, mocks and stubs, and continuous integration. Spock provides an expressive testing language based on Groovy that makes tests more readable, maintainable and trustworthy. Examples demonstrate how to write feature methods, use blocks, verify interactions, stub implementations, test exceptions, integrate with Spring, and perform HTTP calls and data-driven testing with Spock.
