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.

Code testability has become the norm these days. Unit testing represents a good start towards testability, but sooner or later you will find out that more is needed. Test’N'Groove represents the happy marriage of the tools that will allow you to write more than unit tests and build trust in your code by creating functional, integration and even stress tests.
Alex presented the TestNG basics as well as those most appreciated advanced features and explained how Test’N'Groove, through its Groovy nature, will bring a breath of fresh air to your tests.
