This document discusses Spock, a testing framework for Groovy and Java applications. It provides an overview of Spock's features for state based testing, data driven testing using where blocks and data tables, and interaction based testing using Spock's mocking framework. It also mentions extensions for listeners, interceptors, Spring integration, and new features in version 0.7 like grouping interactions and better mocking failure messages. Resources listed at the end include Spock's homepage, documentation, and a link to an article explaining the difference between mocks and stubs.

State Based Testing

11. • Blocks
setup: cleanup: expect: given: when: then: where: and:
• Fixture Methods
setup() cleanup() setupSpec() cleanupSpec()
• Instance and @Shared fields
• old() and thrown()
• Forces developers to think like users
• Nice looking reports (that no one reads)

17. How objects communicate
Mocking frameworks simplify the job
Spock has its own mocking framework
Interaction Based Testing

18. How objects communicate
Mocking frameworks simplify the job
Spock has its own mocking framework
Google it: “Mocks aren't Stubs”

20. Creating
Mocking
Recap: Interaction Based Testing
def sub = Mock(Subscriber)
Subscriber sub = Mock()
1 * sub.receive("msg")
(1..3) * sub.receive(_)
(1.._) * sub.receive(_ as String)
1 * sub.receive(!null)
1 * sub.receive({it.contains("m")})
1 * _./rec.*/("msg")

21. Stubbing
Mocking and Stubbing
Impressing your friends
Recap: Interaction Based Testing (2)
// now returns status code
String receive(String msg) { ... }
sub.receive(_) >> "ok"
sub.receive(_) >>> ["ok", "ok", "fail"]
sub.receive(_) >> { msg -> msg.size() > 3 ? "ok" : "fail" }
3 * sub.receive(_) >>> ["ok", "ok", "fail"]
(_.._) * _._(*_) >> _

22. NEW IN 0.7
What’s new?

23. Group conditions/interactions w/ same target
Better mocking failure messages
New in 0.7 (1)
with(person) {
name == “Fred”
age == 30
sex == “male”
}
with(service) {
1 * start()
1 * stop()
}

24. Stubs
Spies
Groovy mocks
Declare interactions upfront
More at:
http://docs.spockframework.org/en/latest/new_and_noteworthy.html
New in 0.7 (2)
def person = Stub(Person)
def person = Spy(Person, constructorArgs: ["Fred", 30])
def person = GroovyMock(person) // GroovyStub, GroovySpy
def person = Mock(Person) {
1 * sleep()
sing() >> “tra-la-la”
}
