2009 Session: Java Testing on the Fast Lane
Wednesday, 14:15 - 15:05
Track: Java
The Java platform harbors many languages besides Java. In that vast set of languages there is one that embraces the Java and extends it in a friendly and fluent way. That language is Groovy. Testing Java code can be cumbersome, specially when rigid limits as verbose syntax and static typing get in the way. Groovy can help you write less code while retaining the same behavior, it can also test your Java production code without any special bridge between languages.
Prerequisites
Good knowledge of Java, JUnit and TestNG, basic Groovy knowledge is desired
Expectations
lear to build more tests with less code, reduce complexity and write more expressive tests
