As part of his talk on integration tests J.B. Rainsberger talked about how contract tests can be used to test the interaction between classes when using a mockist approach to developer testing. He wondered aloud if it would be possible to write these kinds of tests using abstract classes and JUnit 4. The answer is yes, with some caveats, as Ben Rady demonstrates it.

In The Brain of JBehave 2

Elizabeth Keogh is a developer for JBehave, a behaviour-driven development testing framework built on top of JUnit. Elizabeth Keogh showed an example of using the current version of JBehave with a little screencast: she used the Game of Life program that she had written to write JBehave tests in what seemingly looked like natural language. JBehave actually operates with keywords in the test files and uses pattern matching to see whether the test was successful.

Boosting Your Testing Productivity with Groovy

Published January 12th, 2009 Under Open Source Tools, User Interface | Leave a Comment

Everyone knows that testing takes time, but you shouldn’t skip testing because of a hard-to-meet deadline. What can you do to be sure you’ll have the following weekend free without worrying that a sudden call will spoil the fun? The answer is to let your testing code be groovier. This session discusses Groovy, a dynamic language for the JVM™ machine whose close integration with the Java™ programming language makes it ideal for testing purposes. With Groovy you can write less code and be more expressive, you can leverage your knowledge of JUnit extensions (such as dbUnit or XMLUnit) to speed up development, and it is also TestNG-friendly.
