Testing Java, Groovy, Spring and Web Applications with Spock
summary
Live demos show Spock testing real Java and Groovy code: readable Groovy specs, built-in mocking and stubbing with mocks/stubs/spies, argument/interaction checks and nice failure diffs. Shows Spring integration including Spring TestContext and Spring Boot wiring — Spring TestContext integration is supported by adding spock-spring. Covers end-to-end browser tests using Geb (CSS selectors, waiting for async elements, drag‑and‑drop) and a reporting tool that captures screenshots and labeled Geb + Spock for browser tests steps. Good if you want concrete examples and tooling setup.
