Grails Testing Deep Dive

In this half-day workshop, students learn how to apply unit, integration, and functional tests to Grails® applications and deliver more robust and stable products.

Overview

This course is designed for Grails developers who wish to level up their testing knowledge and skills. 

The Grails framework simplifies unit, integration, and functional tests, allowing developers to build particularly robust and stable applications.

Through lectures, real-world examples, and hands-on exercises, participants will have the opportunity to explore multiple testing practices within Grails applications, including unit testing of Grails artifacts, integration testing, and functional testing of both APIs and HTML pages.

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this workshop, we recommend participants have beginner to intermediate proficiency with the Grails framework and an understanding of how web applications work in general.

Experience with Spock and Geb is a plus, but no particular expertise is required.
